Method and system for the acquisition, transmission and assessment of remote sensor data for trend analysis, prediction and remediation

摘要

A method to analyze the spread of viral or bacterial infections in a population using remote thermal sensor data is disclosed. The method includes determining a body temperature of passengers traveling through a public transportation facility using a remote thermal sensor, storing the body temperatures of the passengers in a database, assigning at least one geographic characteristic to the stored body temperatures in the database, and comparing the body temperatures to a known normal body temperature of humans. In addition, the method includes generating an alert when the body temperatures of the passengers are above the normal body temperature to indicate an illness. The at least one geographic characteristic may be an origination location, destination location, or any combination thereof. The method also includes accessing flight information stored on a remote server, and correlating the flight information to the passengers.
