Thermal Screening

thermal screening

The FLIR solution is a key element in preparing the State of Hawai’i to reopen its doors
with smart thermal screening technologies.

As Hawaii adjusts to a new normal, urgency on reopening business
in a safe and controlled manner remains a pressing concern.

The COVID-19 crisis has created a demand for thermal imaging solutions
that will automate initial screening, thereby reducing the risk to front line workers and
provide intelligent automation as a tool for business screening.

What are we deploying
A non-contact screening tool designed to detect elevated skin temperatures. This solution can be a first line of defense against potential health risks. Measuring the inner canthus “the medial corner of the eye where the upper and lower eyelids join” provides the best non-contact measurement of skin surface temperature.

What are we measuring
The inner canthi temperature reading is useful in detecting individuals with high temperatures as one measurement and method for fever related pandemic diseases. While FLIR cameras are not capable of detecting or diagnosing viruses, the US FDA registered systems represent a simple, first measure to mitigate further contagion and possible rebound, providing confidence to return to normalcy.

Is there a concern with privacy when utilizing this technology?
No, FLIR does not require recording or transmitting Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
