Figures & data

Table 1. Checklist to ensure correct use of NCIT for tracking human core temperature

Figure 1. Two 10-year-old males, the top thermogram (a) shows a healthy (non-febrile) case. The bottom thermogram (b) shows a case of fever. Thermogram A shows a max temperature of 35°C at the inner eye-canthus. Thermogram B shows a max temperature of 38.6°C at the inner eye-canthus.

Figure 2. Simulated data to show the relative temperature screening method. A rolling average (solid black line) of all data points is used as the reference temperature. A temperature threshold of 1°C above this rolling average (dashed line) would result in a positive temperature screen, as shown by the red circular symbols. All data points below this threshold (gray symbols) would screen negative
