Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1) The proposed non-contact health screening kiosk technology will be able to effectively identify
COVID19 patients with more accuracy compared to simple IR thermometer, which merely
measures the skin shell temperature. 
its only a single time point study  
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
2) This technology based on its algorithm may formulate an effective screening and triaging
protocol for pre-symptomatic, early symptomatic and moderate to severely infected COVID19
patients. 
reading is measured immediately after screening the patient with device. (approximately 1 minute after screening)

Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary   The current study is about to validate the efficacy of the novel non-contact health screening kiosk technology for COVID19 screening for 
1) Reducing the relative physical proximity risk for the front line health care worker’s (HCW) to COVID19 patients visiting KH during screening. 
2) Better crowd management and reducing the chances of cross infection among the patients and caretakers. 
3) Developing better technology to screen and identify pre-symptomatic COVID patients. 
4) Reducing patient screening time and hospital workflow time. 
5) Identifying the severity of underlying disease and prevention of rapid deterioration without measuring other vital parameters physically by the HCW’s. 
6) Identifying the Geriatric / Immunosuppressed / Cancer/transplant COVID19 patients who may present with atypical and non-classical COVID19 symptoms.
