Fever-detecting helmets
Detecting people with fevers up to five metres away
Chinese tech firm Kuang-Chi Technologies has developed a smart helmet, that looks for signs of a fever. The apparatus identifies and targets people who are high-risk for virus transmission.
The AI-based device, which looks like a motorcycle helmet, allows monitoring personnel wearing it to quickly measure the body temperatures of people passing in crowds within a range of three to five meters. When detecting something, the helmet emits both a visual and audio alert.
The headgear scans body temperatures of hundreds of people and locks onto those with fever in less than two minutes. According to Kuang-Chi Technologies, it also overcomes the difficulties of sniffing out abnormal temperatures in timely, accurate and effective manner in complex scenarios.
