Detecting Elevated Body Temperature using Thermal Imaging

FLIR Systems thermal cameras have a long history of being used in public spaces as an effective frontline screening tool to non-invasively measure skin surface temperature and identify individuals with Elevated Body Temperature.

In light of the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, society is deeply concerned about the spread of this infection and is seeking tools to help slow and ultimately stop the spread of the virus. Although no thermal cameras can detect or diagnose the coronavirus, FLIR cameras can be used as an adjunct to other body temperature screening tools for detecting elevated skin temperature in high-traffic public places through quick individual screening.
