COVID-19 Thales Thermography Triage : Thermal Camera Feasibility Study

NCT04397380 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 100

Last updated 2020-05-22

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will refine and pilot the feasibility of introducing a thermal imaging test to detect fever in 100 patients being triaged within the Emergency Department. The only additional research requirement for the patient is to have a thermal image of their face taken. Other triage tests will be routine.

The aims of the feasibility study are to:

* Understand the acceptability of introducing the intervention within the Emergency Department setting
* Establish indicative patient recruitment numbers per week
* Determine the likely proportion of patients recruited from this group who have a high temperature
* Provide preliminary evidence that the technology can identify a high temperature in this diverse group of patients
* Provide preliminary data for machine learning training to support classification of patients as being with or without fever

The feasibility study will then inform the design and size of larger study to further develop and validate the the thermal imaging screening test to provide a 'with/ without' fever result.
