School fever screening
Keeping the schools open is a government priority. However, the difficulty of maintaining social distancing rules among children is much higher. Children can easily become infected and pass the virus to their classmates and teachers hence why great care and monitoring is needed. School fever screening technologies are needed to prevent illness.
Our approach
Microstrategies provides temperature screening and building access control systems. Our hardware and software takes pupils temperature prior to providing access to the building.
If a pupil, 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 pupils during lunch breaks or other group activities.
Our hardware features a healthcare grade infrared sensor for accuracy within 0.3 degrees Celsius and it is currently successfully used by Schools and Colleges in Britain.
