OTS - DERMALOG Thermal Camera - Improving Safety for Nursing Homes
2020. May 05. 14:00
Hamburg, 5 May, 2020 (APA/OTS) - Covid-19 currently shows how
important it is to prevent the spread of infection as far as
possible. Retirement and nursing homes are facing a serious
challenge, as the staff is in close contact with people who are
particularly at risk. Any indication that care workers, visitors or
care recipients are showing illness symptoms is significant. The
German nursing home provider Katharinenhof uses DERMALOG fever
detection to improve its health protection.
With its Fever Detection Camera, DERMALOG has developed a
solution that measures body temperatures fast and accurately when
walking by and can significantly reduce the risk of infection
spreading in many areas. The Katharinenhof runs care facilities
with a capacity of approximately 2,500 beds in five German federal
states and recently started using the DERMALOG system to protect
staff and residents from Covid-19.
Every person who enters the Katharinenhof am Hirschpark
retirement home in Hamburg does DERMALOG's contactless fever check.
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.
DERMALOG's automatic Fever Detection Camera does not require any
additional operating personnel and, as a result, ensures extra
safety.
"If the system reliably detects that there is a potential
thread when entering our facility, it will ultimately protect human
lives. That's why we have high expectations of the fever detection
system," says Claus Heydebreck, manager of the Katharinenhof am
Hirschpark.
DERMALOG's thermal camera was initially developed for border
controls and airports. "However, the cameras are used increasingly
in retirement and nursing homes to protect their residents by fever
checks," says DERMALOG CEO Günther Mull. Also, the fever detection
system is already in use in more than 40 countries for access to
shops, offices, manufacturing halls, sports grounds, event
locations and hospitals.
