The technology developed by Australian Elenium Automation is a self-service contactless technology that can monitor the vital sign and assess the temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate of every passenger for the COVID-19 symptoms or alert staff to take on the assessment and management of the travel process. "The technology is not designed or intended to diagnose medical conditions... it is an early warning indicator."
