COVID Series: The Promise of Thermal Imaging with Jill Klein & Jeff Kenkel

Quotes

The thermal sensitivity of the thermal imaging technology is phenomenal, so the sensors are extremely accurate. You can detect very, very subtle temperature changes, and can accurately measure temperature to a half of a degree of Fahrenheit in controlled environments.

Thermal imaging technology can tell us a lot about ‘The What;’ and LIDAR technology can tell us a lot about ‘The Where.’ You can combine the output of these technologies using data orchestration and AI to provide some very interesting insights.
