Bangalore School News & Articles

As the panic over H1N1 virus increased, many schools across the Bangalore city remained closed due the lurking fear of victimizing their students to swine flu. However, the incidence of disease seemed to be rising and schools could not afford to remain shut for their students. In the wake of this situation, flu detecting sensors came to rescue of schools.

Many Bangalore schools are regularly using temperature measuring sensors to record body temperature in students. Students whose body temperature read 100 or above on the Fahrenheit scale are isolated from before sending them home. Parents are advised that the child be medicated, given sufficient rest and sent back to school when the symptoms are completely gone.

Some schools are using ear thermometers to measure temperatures. Temperatures can be measured by keeping the device close to the ear and clicking the reading button. No body contact is involved with this method as well.

About the Sensor

The sensors used for body temperature screening can be instrumental in controlling the incidence of swine flu among schools and other such public places. Airports and malls are also arming themselves with these screening devices to lower the incidence of H1N1 viral spreading.

The temperature sensor is a “no body contact” device that detects body temperature even when it operated a few inches away from the body. This helps maintain hygiene through the screening routine. Each temperature reading takes as less as 0.5 seconds which minimizes the time consumed by the screening process. It is easy to use and does not require a professional at work. Also, this device measures high on accuracy and consistency score and it can be confidently used by anyone who wants to practice H1N1 screening.
