Automated Screening
Automated
screening simplifies
the screening process, reduces the demands on operators, and improves
screening measurement accuracy.
How It Works
ThermoScreen
detects when a subject’s face is in view and then audibly issues the
instruction "please stand still and look directly at the camera." A
large "TESTING" button illuminates
on the computer screen to indicate that an
individual is currently being tested. After
verifying that the subject is standing still, ThermoScreen performs the
screening measurement and then audibly issues the results. Feverish
subjects are instructed to "please wait here for an attendant" and
non-feverish subjects are instructed "thank you, you may proceed".
Benefits
Improved Accuracy
One of the
most important benefits of automated screening is improved measurement
accuracy. Because individuals are required to stand still and face the
camera while being screened, more accurate and consistent measurements can
be performed that more closely reflect internal body temperature.
Automatic
Compensation
Another important benefit is automatic compensation for factors that can
affect screening measurement accuracy and effectiveness such as variations
in ambient temperature and circadian cycle affects (internal body
temperature generally increases during the day and decreases during the
night). ThermoScreen performs this compensation during operation by
performing a statistical analysis of previous screening results.
Verbal
Commands
Because
ThermoScreen issues audible commands to instruct individuals during the
screening process, operators are able to focus more attention on processing
violations and line control. In fact, if screening stations are designed
properly, a single operator is able to monitor multiple screening stations
at once.
