Fever screening technology is a hot topic these days. The coronavirus has followed us into 2021, and widespread vaccinations are still several months away, but many companies and public places are open for in-person business again. Now businesses are looking for solutions to keep employees, customers and visitors safe in office buildings, stores, restaurants, health clinics, schools and other public areas.

One popular solution is fever screening technology, which uses thermal imaging to map a person’s body heat and determine if they have an elevated temperature. Fever detection systems can scan a person’s skin temperature within seconds and issue an alert if the reading falls outside a preset range.

In the battle against the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, everyone is looking for ways to maintain operations safely. Part of the challenge is to develop practices that can be implemented at scale. Anyone who has visited a doctor’s office in the past few months has likely been subjected to a temperature test. Screening for fever is one way to keep people who are possibly infected and sick away from healthy people. Typically, these tests have been done orally or via standard touchless forehead temperature scanners. This screening is a significant deviation from a normal check-in routine and may take additional staff and reorganization of regular workflows. Fortunately, advanced thermal sensor technology and sophisticated, artificial intelligence-based software can offer solutions to do temperature screening with minimal personnel and less disruption to normal operations.
