ITC Web-EST

Elevated Skin Temperature (EST) screening uses thermal imaging to measure the surface temperature of a person’s inner eye to detect signs of a fever.  While infrared cameras cannot detect fevers or viruses, they are used to help prevent the spread of communicable conditions by identifying individuals who may have a high skin temperature. These readings can then be used to initiate secondary screening, if needed, to verify whether or not the subject in fact has a fever.

It is important to note that the user will have to facilitate camera set up protocol to allow the camera to correctly screen the subjects.  This course will cover the Setup and Operation of several camera models, as well as explain how Infrared Science applies to EST, and Best Practices for obtaining optimal results when screening for Elevated Skin Temperature.  Students completing the course and passing the knowledge check will be issued an ITC Certificate of Completion.
