Overview of Elevated Skin Temperature Screening
Elevated skin temperature screening utilizes thermal imaging to measure the surface temperature of a person’s inner eye corner to detect possible signs of a fever. While infrared cameras cannot confirm the presence of a fever, they are used as a tool help prevent the spread of communicable conditions by checking for elevated skin temperatures. This webinar will cover some of the basic questions one may have if considering this specialized application of thermal imaging and address the best practices for obtaining optimal results.
