Predictiv AI Inc (CVE: PAI) (OTCMKTS:INOTF) (FSE:71TA) said it has installed multiple ThermalPass temperature scanning devices at Memorial Healthcare System hospital facilities in south Broward County, Florida.
The Canadian company said the initial roll-out of the units was completed at Memorial Regional Hospital, the flagship facility and one of the largest hospitals in the state, and Memorial Regional Hospital South, home of the Rehabilitation Institute.
Memorial is a leader in providing high-quality healthcare services to South Florida residents through its six-hospital network and various ancillaries throughout South Florida.

In a statement, Michael Lende, CEO of Predictiv AI commented: "The healthcare industry is experiencing a technological revolution, and we're extremely pleased that ThermalPass is at the forefront and well-positioned to capture market share in the temperature screening solutions category. It's an achievement to have been recognized and accepted by one of the leaders in America's healthcare system. Our team and partners are looking forward to working with Memorial to ensure a successful rollout to their entire network."
ThermalPass was developed to lessen the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) in high-traffic locations by using medical-grade sensors to scan people (up to 60 per minute using 1,200 sensors) who pass through it and silently identify anyone with an abnormally high body temperature, a possible indicator of COVID-19.
"With COVID-19 still threatening our community, it's important for us to continue using technology in a way that will help us maximize our team's time and provide quality and safe care to our community," said Dawn de la Vega, director of nursing at Memorial Regional Hospital. "We have integrated ThermalPass, which has helped us eliminate forehead temperature checks and capture core temperature for employees reporting to work in a more efficient manner."
ThermalPass is manufactured by SMRT Labs Inc, a company jointly owned by AI Labs Inc, a subsidiary of Predictiv AI and Commersive Solutions Corp.
Predictiv AI said it is not making any express or implied claims that its product has the ability to eliminate, cure, or contain the COVID-19 (or SARS-2 coronavirus) at this time.
