‘Could you build something to detect COVID-19?’ A comment that was made half-jokingly directed to Draganfly Inc. was taken seriously by the company’s developers. The company’s CEO acknowledged that they could detect infectious conditions even if they could not detect COVID19. 10 months later the software was commercially deployed. The software can be used with pretty much any camera — on a drone, a kiosk, a laptop, a smartphone, or a security system. The camera can detect one’s heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen level, and BMI. Alabama is one of the states that adopted the Draganfly Smart Vital System, to test people at risk of infection, allowing the state to minimize the spread of coronavirus.
