Is IoT the Future of Fever Detection?

GroupGets, in collaboration with FLIR, has created thermal monitoring modules that can be used to detect elevated body temperatures of individuals in crowds. The most obvious use for this technology is in airport security checkpoints, but the fever surveillance tech is also being deployed in other public transit areas as well as in private corporate offices to curtail viral spread as Americans return to the office. As with most step-function innovations, there is significant discourse about this approach - what are the privacy ramifications? Can people opt in/out? How are the accuracy levels of these systems metered and regulated? While these questions are difficult and will unfold over time, one thing is for sure now - GroupGets' PureThermals are flying off the shelves!
