An artificial intelligence development company out of Toronto has introduced some fancy new tools to help businesses operate more safely during the pandemic.

Predictmedix’s technologies allow stores and other establishments to screen customers for symptoms of COVID-19 before they enter, and they can even tell when people aren’t properly social distancing or wearing masks while inside.

The firm’s Infection and Protocol Screening machines — which take the form of standalone pods or walk-through booths — use AI, infrared thermography and multispectral cameras to detect symptoms within seconds, and can even recognize cognitive impairment from substances like alcohol or illnesses like dementia.
