Modena Cherry Creek, a newly built 96-unit senior community in Denver owned and operated by Solera Senior Living, recently installed the AI enabled health screening system from PopID, according to a press release. The facility, which develops, owns and operates senior communities across the country, is the company's 35th senior living facility in the U.S.

"We are confident that PopEntry+, as part of our overall suite of technology, will continue to be an important protocol for helping keep our residents, staff and family members as safe as possible," Solera's founder and CEO Adam Kaplan said in the press release.

The employees at senior communities scan their faces into the system via the PopID website. They stand before the fixed device to be recognized and have their temperatures taken instantly, hands-free, with or without masks. The device lets them know within seconds whether they have a fever. Additionally, the employee uses a thumbs up or thumbs down hand gesture to answer health questions on the screen, making the process 100% contact-free.

"Our new hand gesture recognition technology enables humans to communicate with public devices without touching the screen," said John Miller, chairman of the Cali Group and founder/CEO of PopID. "This new mechanism for human-computer interaction will play a central role in the future of facilities management as well as retail ordering and payment."

The PopEntry+ device also integrates with different HR systems, resulting in efficient storage and organization of health screening data for audibility and traceability. Finally, it offers office and academic building administrators an added level of security. Once the device recognizes the employee or student, it can unlock the door for entry or deny entry if the user is unrecognized or determined to have a fever.
