Care Home Residents Wellbeing Enhancement
Care home residents are among vulnerable people at risk of suffering complications due to COVID-19 and it is our duty to ensure that the risk of them being infected is minimised. During these uncertain and unfortunate times, Care Homes in Britain are seeking ways to improve the security of their facilities and to protect their residents.
Our approach
Microstrategies provides temperature screening and building access control systems. Our hardware and software takes visitors temperature and checks if they wear a mask prior to providing access to the building.
If a visitor or staff member shows a temperature or are not wearing a mask (based on the setting of the system) access to the building is not provided and the facilities manager receives a notification. We can also provide cameras that take multiple temperature readings at the same time for ongoing monitoring of residents whilst they are in common areas of the facility.
Our hardware features a healthcare grade infrared sensor for accuracy within 0.3 degrees Celsius and it is currently successfully used by Care Homes in Britain.
