Parsons Corporation has developed an integrated, touchless suite of solutions to monitor real-time health and facilitate the safe movement of people in public areas, according to a press release.

The offering — known as DetectWise — includes contactless, mobile health screening kiosks and modular testing and decontamination facilities to keep the public safe in high-traffic areas like airports, shopping malls, corporate buildings and sports stadiums. Contactless, mobile health screening systems will monitor the flow of movement and identify high-risk individuals so that steps can be taken to prevent them from mingling with the general population. Kiosks are being deployed across the nation within the next few weeks.

"DetectWise uses sensors and cameras to measure body temperature, heart rate and respiration rate that will help our customers better understand if an individual is symptomatic for the COVID-19 virus, allowing them to take steps necessary to minimize the risk of spreading the disease," Carey Smith, president and chief operating officer of Parsons, said in the press release.
