CoVid 19 – necessity is the mother of invention

Digital solutions can help to overcome this crisis. Early recognition of symptoms is obviously also part of this.

Difficult times offer room for new solutions – detecting symptoms early

This period is a challenge for society as a whole. The alarm bells are ringing not only in Germany, but globally. Especially now the sensible use of digital technologies is again becoming apparent, especially to support people in their daily work.

Digital signage allows many processes to be automated, thereby removing people from a potentially dangerous situation. Self-service check-in terminals are already helping in numerous hospitals and medical practices to keep people with symptoms away from admissions staff and reduce the possibility of infection. Antibacterial displays and protective foils help, as do options for contactless payment or scanning.

Using digital assistants to identify symptoms

But especially now the applied technologies can offer much more than “just” automating a process. Equipped with the right sensor technology, the devices can also collect vitality data and thus automatically test the user for certain characteristics. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), fever is one of the most common symptoms of the current CoVid-19 pandemic, along with a dry cough. So why not measure fever at the self-check-in? The technology is available.

Measure body temperature using infrared technology

The technology mentioned above works with highly sensitive infrared sensors that can measure the body temperature of people in a record time of less than one second. At any access control or self-service check-in, this technology would now be appropriate for detecting even infected persons who show only mild symptoms. However, many do not take these symptoms seriously or dismiss them as slight discomfort. Especially in the current situation, however, false vanity and a downplaying of the importance of such measures is out of place.

Wide range of applications for public health

Even after surviving this crisis, upgrading self-service check-in solutions with components from the healthcare industry makes sense. Even if this crisis will have dire consequences, something good cannot be neglected: The interest in public health and an active health awareness of each individual will certainly be sharpened. Publicly installed health terminals, queries of vital signs at hotel and airport check-ins or even more contactless payment processes and services – the way to less infection through direct contact is through digital solutions.
