Non Contact Thermometers for diagnose a fever:
Infrared thermometers can be used to serve a wide variety of temperature monitoring functions. A few examples provided include detecting clouds for remote telescope operation, checking mechanical or electrical equipment for temperature and hot spots, measuring the temperature of patients in a hospital without touching them, checking heater or oven temperature, for calibration and control, checking for hot spots in fire-fighting, monitoring materials in processes involving heating or cooling, and measuring temperature of volcanoes. At times of epidemics of diseases causing fever, such as SARS, coronavirus and Ebola virus disease, infrared thermometers have been used to check arriving travellers for fever.

There are many varieties of infrared temperature-sensing devices, both for portable and handheld use and as fixed installations.
