Can the IR camera used for Windows Hello be used to detect a fever?
"inspired" by the context of COVID-19, I'm wondering if the algorithms that make up Windows Hello login can tip a user of a fever that should warrant further investigation.
C_the_S I have thermometers at home so this would just be a 'first alert' to check with a proper thermometer. I was thinking it could also be (after proper anonymization) be used to infer community spread. Granted there's several causes of fever but it's surely a more accurate indicator than what https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevensalzberg/2014/03/23/why-google-flu-is-a-failure/#44376abb5535 tried to do . If windows Hello has a baseline, non-fever stored, then it probably can detect the difference in temperature.
Even if it could be 100% accurate, body temp doesn't mean anything when it comes to virus.
if they (scientists) could tell who has covid-19 and who doesn't then they wouldn't spend so much time building test kits.
fever and body temperature has so many reasons.
