As for comparing apples to oranges , the Tiger Tech Covid monitor is a screening device just like the THRM test is a screening test. Just do the same thing in a different manner. The cost of personel for Tiger Tech is offset by not needing to manufacture tests especially when screening hundreds or thousands of people.
Tiger TEch has done a decent sized study and is FDA approved so it works. THRm is still not proven.
The clinical performance of the Tiger Tech COVID Plus Monitor was studied in hospital and school settings. The hospital study, which was considered a validation study,
enrolled 467 asymptomatic individuals, including
69 confirmed positive cases, and demonstrated that the Tiger Tech COVID Plus Monitor had a positive percent agreement (proportion of the COVID-19 positive individuals identified correctly by the device to possess certain biomarkers) of 98.6% and a negative percent agreement (proportion of the COVID-19 negative individuals identified correctly by the device to not possess certain biomarkers) of 94.5%. The school study, which was considered a confirmatory study, showed similar performance.

The test you've presented here requires medical personnel to implement it ....EXPENSIVE!
Once again apples are being compared to oranges.
Cheers!!!

The recent FDA approved screeening test by Tiger Tech, there is no cost for the test other than buying the device and cleaning it between use. Works with temperature measurements.
