  • Publication number: 20210335458
    Abstract: A system and methods are disclosed for health screening users to help reduce the spread of a contagious disease. In one embodiment, an employee of an organization uses a mobile device, prior to arriving at a facility of the organization (e.g., a building, etc.), to take a “selfie” photo while their temperature is being taken. This might be done, for example, when the employee is at home. The employee enters the temperature reading into an application running on the mobile device and the application transmits the photo and temperature reading to the employee's manager for approval to work. Embodiments of the present disclosure enable health screening of users prior to their arrival at a facility, thereby potentially avoiding delays at the facility entrance that may cause long lines, as well as potentially reducing the number of staff required to perform the screening at the entrance.
