Fujairah Police now use smart helmets to screen people who have fever to detect coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
The smart helmet, launched in coordination with the Ministry of Interior, uses thermal imaging camera and artificial intelligence which allows quick scanning of people in public areas.
This step is in line with the UAE government’s strategy to ensure safety and to counter the spread of the disease.
Major General Mohammed bin Ghanem Al-Kaabi, Commander-in-Chief of Fujairah Police, told AlBayan that the smart helmets are developed in accordance with the best international standards to preserve the safety of residents in the emirate.
He added that the device will allow the offers to effectively carry out their police duties. Its program is linked to a smart mobile program, where they can measure the temperature real-time. If someone with higher-than-normal temperature is detected, an alert be sent immediately, allowing the officers to do the necessary action according to the government’s preventive measures.
