University of Washington: An app can transform smartphones into thermometers that accurately detect fevers

University of Washington: An app can transform smartphones into thermometers that accurately detect fevers. “… a team led by researchers at the University of Washington has created an app called FeverPhone, which transforms smartphones into thermometers without adding new hardware. Instead, it uses the phone’s touchscreen and repurposes the existing battery temperature sensors to gather data that a machine learning model uses to estimate people’s core body temperatures.”
