LAS VEGAS, Nov. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Remark Holdings,
Inc. (NASDAQ: MARK), a diversified global technology company with
leading artificial intelligence ("AI") solutions and digital media
properties, today announced that Morton Comprehensive Health
Services in Tulsa, Oklahoma chose
Remark AI's biosafety platform for monitoring temperatures of their
patients and staff at all seven of their facilities. The order
includes both Remark AI's Thermal Kit and rPads, which will be used
to monitor patients and staff without taking an extra staff member
off the floor to do manual temperature checks.
Remark AI biosafety continues to be chosen by medical centers and
clinics around the country as a first line of safety
"The Remark AI biosafety platform continues to be chosen by
medical centers, hospitals, and clinics around the country as a
first line of safety for both patients and employees," noted
Kai-Shing Tao, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Remark Holdings. "Our biosafety platform
alleviates the need for keeping a valuable staff member off the
floor and provides a discreet and seamless experience for
temperature checks, PPE compliance, tracking temperature data, and
protecting both staff and patients."
The rPad represents an ideal solution for locations requiring
robust access control. In addition to providing touchless employee
check-in using Remark AI's proprietary and highly-accurate facial
biometric algorithm, the rPad also uses Remark AI's sophisticated
software in conjunction with precision-crafted infrared thermal
imaging sensors to accurately determine each employee's body
temperature, even if the person is wearing a mask. The rPad will
alert the individual, as well as administrative personnel and the
security team, when an abnormal temperature is detected. The unit
can also be customized to provide additional functionalities
including the ability to determine whether individuals are wearing
personal protective equipment appropriate for the circumstances and
the ability to manage attendance, among other functionalities.
The rPad offers the following key features:
- Accurate Thermal Technology: Remark AI's proprietary software
that powers the rPad integrates with precise medical-grade infrared
thermal imaging sensors to provide a body temperature reading
accurate to within ± 0.5 ºF.
- Contactless Access Control: The fast and reliable facial
biometric algorithm, which includes anti-spoofing technology,
provides for contactless access control and can be programmed to
open doors or gates.
- PPE Detection: Remark AI's software can also be customized to
recognize whether individuals are wearing personal protective
equipment appropriate for the circumstances and to notify the
employer of policy violations.
- Attendance Management: Remark AI's software also can allow for
personnel management, including employee attendance
recordkeeping.
Remark AI's Thermal Kit can be mounted on walls, tripods or
ceilings to scan wide areas, and it can be set up to operate alone
or as a part of a centralized control system that Remark AI will
customize to the specific needs of the customer. Using Remark AI's
sophisticated algorithms which integrate with the bi-spectral
thermal camera, the Thermal Kit can scan more than 120 people per
minute in the camera's field of view and identify and track any
individual with a body temperature that exceeds a threshold
specified by the client and alert a monitored central system. The
software running the Thermal Kit has options allowing the customer
to change the view mode, minimize snapshot records, enable audible
alerts, direct SMS messages, send e-mail notifications and much
more.
In addition to body temperature measurement that is effective
even if a person is wearing a mask, Remark AI's Thermal Kit offers
the following key features:
- Accurate Face Detection: Remark AI's proprietary software
uses a state-of-the-art facial detection algorithm that assesses
multiple data points on the face to provide a highly accurate body
temperature measurement.
- PPE Detection: Remark AI's software can also be customized to
recognize whether individuals are wearing personal protective
equipment appropriate for the circumstances and to notify the
employer of policy violations.
- People Counting and Monitoring of Social Distancing: The
software also keeps customers and staff safe by accurately counting
people entering a building or facility, monitoring social
distancing parameters specified by the client and notifying the
appropriate client personnel of any violations of safety
policies.
