Answered at 6:29 in Logicalis IoT Trojectory - Episode 20 - Thermal Detection Monitoring for COVID-19 · IoT Trajectory Podcast Series
What is the accuracy level of commercial-grade thermal detection systems for measuring human body temperature?
Most commercial-grade thermal detection systems are accurate within 0.4 degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius, providing accuracy consistently less than half a degree. This level of precision allows systems to clearly identify if someone has an elevated temperature relevant to health monitoring, such as detecting fever symptoms associated with COVID-19.
