There are various applications of infrared thermal imagers in health management, particularly in temperature monitoring, medical diagnosis, and disease prevention. The following are the main application areas of infrared thermal imagers in health management:
Temperature Monitoring: Infrared thermal imagers can measure body temperature quickly and non-contact. This is particularly useful in public places, medical institutions, and airports, as it can help screen potential fever individuals who may be a sign of infection, such as influenza or other contagious diseases.
Medical Diagnosis: Medical professionals can use infrared thermal imagers to assist in the diagnosis and monitoring of certain diseases. For example, they can detect skin inflammation, circulation problems, and neurological disorders. Thermal imaging technology can capture the thermal distribution on the body surface, which is helpful in understanding the pathophysiological processes of certain health issues.
Disease Prevention: Infrared thermal imagers can be used to monitor signs of disease outbreaks in populations. For instance, they can be used for rapid screening of disease transmission risks in large events or densely populated areas. This can be significant in controlling the spread of diseases.
Sports Health: Infrared thermal imagers can be used for monitoring and rehabilitation of athletes' bodies. By detecting temperature changes in different body regions, muscle fatigue, injuries, and recovery processes can be tracked.
Elderly Care: Infrared thermal imagers can help monitor the health conditions of elderly individuals, particularly useful for fall prevention and monitoring of potential health issues.
Animal Health: Similarly, infrared thermal imagers can also be used for monitoring the health status of animals, especially in agriculture and animal disease control.
