OTS - DERMALOG Fever Detection at UKE Hamburg
2020. May 07. 13:31
Hamburg, 7 May, 2020 (APA/OTS) - The Covid-19 outbreak challenges
hospitals around the globe to protect staff and patients
adequately. The University Medical Center in Hamburg (UKE) uses
DERMALOG's Fever Detection Camera for additional health protection.
Covid-19 currently shows how important it is to prevent the
spread of infection as far as possible. Hospitals are facing a
serious challenge, as staff and patients are at increased risk of
infection. Fever screenings are increasingly being carried out at
hospital entrances to identify persons with symptoms. Temperature
checks are already part of daily operations at many airports. In
the meantime, many healthcare facilities are also using this
technology to provide better protection for patients and staff.
The University Medical Center Hamburg (UKE) has also increased
its protective measures by using DERMALOG's Fever Detection Camera.
The system of the German biometrics company measures body
temperature within one second by scanning people's faces using
state-of-the-art sensor technology. If an increased temperature is
detected, the system sets off an alarm. High accuracy, even from a
distance of up to 2 meters, is another advantage of the camera.
"Fever detection allows us to identify infected persons before
they enter the hospital and thus reduce the risk of infection for
staff and patients," says Professor Klaus Püschel, Chair of the
Legal Medicine Department at UKE.
DERMALOG's thermal camera was initially developed for border
controls and airports. Recently, the system is increasingly being
used in healthcare facilities and clinics. Companies and
institutions in more than 40 countries have already put the new
"Made in Germany" technology from DERMALOG into operation for
additional health protection.
