How drones can be used to detect temperature & fight Covid-19

Drones are fast entering the front lines in the battle against the global Covid-19 virus.

With infections passing 3 million & total deaths exceeding 200 thousand (at the time of writing), the world is thirsty for innovative methods to slow down the rate of infection & flatten the curve.

Using advanced thermal technology, drones can now provide lifesaving solutions, while allowing monitoring from a safe distance.

Health Monitoring Using Drones

*Infrared cameras automatically detect the hottest temperatures within an area & can indicate elevated body temperature. – A product of  GO THERMAL.

Drones are more than just flying tools; it is the vast array of sensors that they can hold which is the key to their success.

Detecting symptomatic individuals, particularly those with a fever, is key to fighting the Covid-19 virus.

Drones carrying thermal cameras are able to detect the real-time temperature of people & thereby detect a fever.

*Infrared cameras automatically detect elevated skin temperatures, potentially indicating fevers & underlying infections. The colour image, temperature scale (right), & alarm mechanism make it easy to decide when individuals need further examination. – A product of GO THERMAL.

Furthermore, drones that are equipped with infrared cameras allow temperatures to be measured at a far greater distance – up to 90 meters or more – compared to traditional infrared “thermometer guns”.

Coupled with the right Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, drones can be used to not only help detect other COVID-19 symptoms such as coughing, respiratory conditions & heart rate but can also do this in real time.

Even in areas with large amounts of people, drones are able to detect movement & density & therefore scale the infection detection process.

This critical real-time information can provide insights into high-risk areas through live videos & streaming footage.

Decision makers are able to make clearer, more informed decisions & can target their response appropriately, as opposed to a “spray & pray” approach.

*Infrared camera infrastructures can be used to intelligently monitor crowd movements & check individual heat signatures in large groups. – A product of UNLEASH LIVE.

The Final Word

Among the endless capabilities of drones, this technology is seemly becoming a go-to instrument in the fight against COVID-19.

The invisible enemy requires an approach so unique & so intelligent that we need every type of soldier we can muster to fight it.

Far from being the futuristic robots of our nightmares glamorised by Hollywood movies, drones are a formidable ally that take our place on the frontlines & keep us safe.
