Explaining How Body Temperature Thermal Scanners Help Detect CORONA FEVER?

Most governments and business runners returning to some semblance of normalcy from what seemed as a never-ending pandemic lockdown are looking to implement the policy of body temperature thermal scanners. The whole point of this mandatory access control security protocol is to prevent any further spread of the COVID-19 infection.

This post throws light on this crucial protection protocol and looks to further elaborate on it in details. So read on!

Thermal Body Temperature Scanners – How Does It Help? 

Every active industry waging a battle against this pandemic outbreak are looking to use the proper set of tools to identify, slow down and inevitably inhibit the COVID-19 spread from infecting their workers and staff. By this time, they have come to an understanding that in order to resume operations; they will need to take strict security measures to safeguard the health of their employees who often work outdoors at various sites.

One mutually agreed and proposed option is the use of thermal body temperature scanners. Unlike any other curative imagining approach, these thermal scanners feature IR – infrared thermography and require no such irradiation or costly equipment. 

They also don’t pose any health risk when used on people to detect their body temperature for a possible Corona fever. By simply detecting the infrared radiation emanating from the skin; these thermal scanners use the information to determine a person’s core body temperature and look for signs of a fever or any other early COVID-19 symptom. 

While it’s true that these thermal scanners cannot completely detect the presence of a possible Corona contamination, they most certainly narrow it down to the closest infection possibility- be it in an individual or a pool of individuals. With still no significant development see in finding a universal COVID-19 cure, these thermal body temperature scanners exist as the only viable option for screening people for virus fever without making any contact. 

That being said, the accuracy of such thermal infrared systems can be largely influenced by the person and also the environment variables. And only by properly comprehending each of these influencing variables- which include the intermingling of scientific technology and its application- will allow such systems to achieve optimal results when put to use!

More on Thermal Screening Mode & Detections

Such temperature scanners mainly reveal three different modes of detection in individuals. They include as – the average temperature sample, the audio alarm temperature sample, and the measured temperature sample!

Among them, the key feature of such temperature screeners is its audio alarm temperature sample. The alarm sounds immediately when an individual goes through the temperature screening area having a high temperature! 

When screening individuals for possible corona fever, these thermal screening devices will display a grey colour palette, except in areas which show a pre-defined body temperature. If a person comes in front to get examined, the device will show a bright red display right over their tear ducts or at their forehead.

That’s what makes it such an effective contraption for high-traffic spots like airports, ports, train stations and even for access control security for large-sized commercial/offices in Toronto or other areas of the globe.

Surmising –

To conclude this discussion, thermal body temperature scanners are proving more and more useful for all industries looking to resume their operations post-lockdown!

And until a better version of this is available, these no-contact scanners, as it stands, are the only reliable screening option to detect Corona fever.
