How Effective is Temperature Screening with Most Technology Today?

Temperature screening can work very well, however what is being done today and over the last six months is not temperature screening and this video shows why.  What happens when the off-the-shelf scanners scan someone with hypothermia or a fever? In this video, we show that two common IR scanners just report "normal" for a wide range of temperatures, while a thermal imaging system stays true to the core body temperature.

This is a live demonstration of two commonly-used forehead IR scanners and a correctly designed thermal imaging based system (the Fever Inspect) being tested against laboratory-grade IR calibration sources.
