The trend towards Bluetooth-enabled non-contact infrared thermometers is growing within the market. As COVID-19 cases continue to surge, traditional door-to-door testing strategies are becoming less feasible, leading to an increased reliance on smart thermometers. Upon activation, these devices pair with a phone through Bluetooth, allowing both self-evaluation and data visibility on a mobile device. In instances where a fever is detected, the data and location details are transferred to a server. For instance, the Digi-Sense D/S IR Therm app allows an infrared thermometer to link to Bluetooth, subsequently forwarding the information to a smartphone or iOS device. The app automatically saves these results, complete with a time and date stamp. They can also be converted into a CSV format and emailed for referencing in future.
