Fever Finder

Inventor: Singapore Technologies Electronics and the Singapore Defense Science and Technology Agency

The Infrared Fever Screening System, inspired by the recent SARS scare, can't diagnose a medical condition. But it can reveal in a moment whether someone is running a temperature—a sign he or she could be sick and warrant a closer look. The system produces a color-coded thermograph of each passerby: red means hot, green means not. Dozens have been sold for use in airports, hospitals, hotels and other public spaces throughout Asia.
