The new device from Clorox will alert schools when a classroom has surpassed a predetermined symptom threshold developed by Dr. Saskia Popescu, epidemiologist research partner and infection preventionist. The end result is an ability to harness these illness indicators to help schools make informed decisions about prevention and keep classrooms safe.
- Using specialized thermal sensors, the device identifies potential spikes in body temperature.
- The proprietary software also recognizes upticks in coughs and sneezes.
- When the device detects an increase in symptoms that surpass a predetermined threshold, educators receive real-time notifications.
- Schools can then evaluate the classroom's risk level and take actions to help prevent the spread of illness-causing germs following their own internal healthcare protocols.
