The present invention is directed to systems and process for detecting a febrile condition in screening of multiple or large groups of persons for the likelihood of infectious diseases. The system comprises a temperature measurement device having at least a processor, a display, temperature sensor, camera module, and facial recognition software. The display may include a positional overlay. The system further includes a database containing baseline temperatures for a number of persons, including baseline temperatures by age group and by gender. An input device optionally may identify the specific person or provide survey questions to a person to further determine a febrile condition. Based on the baseline temperatures, measured temperature and other characteristics of the person, a febrile condition may be determined. Additionally, the system may include a secondary screening component providing nasal swabbing or saliva testing.
A system for detecting the presence of a febrile condition, the system comprising:
The system of claim 1, further comprising an RFID scanner configured to detect an RFID card identifying at least the one user.
The system of claim 1, further comprising a code reader configured to detect a code identifying at least the one user.
The system of claim 14, further comprising a test kit storage adapted for storing rapid test kits for secondary screening.
A method of detecting the presence of a febrile condition, the method comprising:
The method of claim 5, further comprising identifying the user based on a user identification card.
The method of claim 5, further comprising identifying the user based on a user code.
The method of claim 5, further comprising scanning the user facial activity for hypoxia based on the color of the user's skin.
The method of claim 5, further comprising directing the user to a secondary screening upon determining the presence of a febrile condition of the user.
The method of claim 9, wherein directing the user to the secondary screening comprises directing the user to take one of a nasal swab or saliva test.
A system for detecting the presence of a febrile condition, the system comprising:
The system of claim 11, further comprising a test kit storage adapted for storing rapid test kits for secondary screening.
A method of detecting the presence of a febrile condition, the method comprising:
The method of claim 13, further comprising scanning the user facial activity for hypoxia based on the color of the user's skin.
The method of claim 13, further comprising directing the user to a secondary screening upon the determining of a febrile condition of the user.
The method of claim 15, wherein directing the user to the secondary screening comprises directing the user to take one of a nasal swab or saliva test.
