This app can turn smartphones into thermometers to detect fevers
The app is the first to use existing phone sensors and screens to estimate whether people have fevers, but needs more training data to be widely used.
A team led by researchers at the University of Washington has created an app — FeverPhone — that transforms smartphones into thermometers without adding new hardware. To take someone’s temperature, the screen of a smartphone is held to a patient's forehead.(photo credit: Dennis Wise/University of Washington)Updated:
