The conceptual 'Jverywhere Thermometer' has been designed by Jaehee Kim as a solution for the new normal that would make the process of temperature checking a little easier and less invasive.
The unit features an ergonomic design that would work by scanning a person's temperature at the wrist instead of at the forehead. This helps to remove some of the stress and anxiety that can come from having a traditional thermometer placed at the forehead before heading into a public space including businesses, restaurants or homes.
The conceptual 'Jverywhere Thermometer' works with an accompanying dock to allow for data to be collected by authorized persons by simply scanning the QR code on the front display for a contact-free experience.
Minimal Contact Thermal Scanners
The Conceptual 'Jverywhere Thermometer' is Easy to Use
Trend Themes
1. Minimal-contact Thermal Scanners - Opportunity for companies to create more efficient, ergonomic, and non-invasive temperature scanning devices for public spaces.
2. Wrist-based Temperature Checking - Innovation opportunity to build medical-grade sensors and algorithms for taking accurate temperature readings through the wrist.
3. Contact-free Data Collection - Opportunity to design smartphone- and QR-based data collection systems for conducting temperature checks.
Industry Implications
1. Healthcare - Thermal scanners could be used in hospitals for taking quick and accurate temperature readings of patients without physical contact.
2. Retail and Hospitality - Businesses can utilize minimal-contact temperature scanners for screening employees and customers before entering the premises.
3. Public Transportation - Manufacturers can develop contact-free temperature scanning systems for subway, train, and bus systems to help prevent the spread of illnesses during a pandemic.
