- The Covid-19 outbreak challenges hospitals around the globe to protect staff 
and patients adequately. The University Medical Center in Hamburg (UKE) uses 
DERMALOG's Fever Detection Camera for additional health protection.

Covid-19 currently shows how important it is to prevent the spread of infection 
as far as possible. Hospitals are facing a serious challenge, as staff and 
patients are at increased risk of infection. Fever screenings are increasingly 
being carried out at hospital entrances to identify persons with symptoms. 
Temperature checks are already part of daily operations at many airports. In 
the meantime, many healthcare facilities are also using this technology to 
provide better protection for patients and staff.

The University Medical Center Hamburg (UKE) has also increased its protective 
measures by using DERMALOG's Fever Detection Camera. The system of the German 
biometrics company measures body temperature within one second by scanning 
people's faces using state-of-the-art sensor technology. If an increased 
temperature is detected, the system sets off an alarm. High accuracy, even from 
a distance of up to 2 meters, is another advantage of the camera.

"Fever detection allows us to identify infected persons before they enter the 
hospital and thus reduce the risk of infection for staff and patients," says 
Professor Klaus Püschel, Chair of the Legal Medicine Department at UKE.

DERMALOG's thermal camera was initially developed for border controls and 
airports. The system is increasingly being used in healthcare facilities and 
clinics. Companies and institutions in more than 40 countries have already put 
the new "Made in Germany" technology from DERMALOG into operation for 
additional health protection.
