Taiwan hospital taps AI, IoT and cloud to keep away COVID-19 – FutureIoT
Yonghe Cardinal Tien Hospital in Taipei has been very proactive in protecting in medical frontliners, patients and visitors against potential COVID-19 infection. In the early weeks of infection in February, the hospital installed a “2-in-1” detection device that automatically scans individuals entering its lobby for face masks and normal body temperature.
The device uses Microsoft technology and camera equipment that continuously scans people. It immediately alerts first-line staff when problems are detected so they can stop potentially infected individuals.
