Abstract

The outbreak of infectious diseases such as swine flu (H1N1) and avian flu (H5N1) are threatening global health. Especially, developing countries in the South-East Asia region have been at serious risk. Rapid and reliable screening methods are urgently needed for preventing the spread of infection at mass gathering places such as, airport quarantine facilities and hospital outpatient units. In order to meet this need, we developed a multiple vital-signs based infection screening system (KAZEKAMO) that can perform medical inspections within 15 seconds. The system monitors not only body temperature but also heart and respiration rates. By using these three vital-signs, the detection accuracy of the system improved significantly.
