Infrared fever screening for elevated body temperature detection
In environments like airports, factories, and universities, traditional fever screening methods can be slow, ineffective, and invasive. There is a need for faster, non-contact, and reliable ways to screen large numbers of individuals for elevated body temperatures, especially in the wake of health crises such as Covid-19.
Uses infrared thermography for non-contact temperature measurement
The Harlequin by Spookfish Innovations employs infrared (IR) camera-based thermography to measure the temperature at the corner of the eyes, which correlates closely with core body temperature. This method is non-invasive and can screen up to 900 people per hour. With a thermal resolution of approximately 640 x 480 pixels and a frequency of 30Hz, the Harlequin provides precise measurements with a precision of ±0.25°C. The technology meets the key principles of ISO/TR 13154:2017 and BS EN IEC 80601-2-59 standards and complies with 21 CFR Part 11 regulations, making it suitable for deployment in various locations such as factories, offices, airports, seaports, universities, and sports venues.
