IIT Bombay passouts develops thermal scanning kiosks with facial recognition to tackle Covid-19

  • Arvi kiosks use AI technology with deep learning to combine facial recognition and thermal screening to detect persons with high temperatures
  • The thermal scanning kiosks have features such as temperature check, face mask detection, auto hand-sanitization, and attendance/access management

Arvi, a health-tech startup has launched contactless thermal scanning kiosks amid covid-19 pandemic. Arvi kiosks use AI technology with deep learning to combine facial recognition and thermal screening to detect persons with high temperatures as well as those violating requirements to wear masks.

Social distancing has become a new normal and everybody is after using contactless products for safety.

The thermal scanning kiosks have features such as temperature check, face mask detection, auto hand-sanitization, and attendance/access management. Arvi’s advanced kiosks also screen blood oxygen, pulse, and respiration rate in addition to temperature.

Unlike a temperature gun, which requires the physical presence of a security guard or an individual to record people’s temperature, artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled Arvi scanners require no human observation or intervention. These kiosks are the current need of the hour and can be used at the entry points of malls, corporate offices, banks, airports, schools, hospitals, etc.

The thermal scanners range from  <span class='webrupee'>₹</span>60,000 to Rs1.25 lakh.
