Survey: Vitals Screening Techniques for a Safer Environment
Sarah Baig, Mohammed Elbadry

TL;DR
This survey reviews vital screening techniques (VIST) essential for ensuring safety in crowded environments amid COVID-19, covering technologies and evaluating existing products for health monitoring.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive overview of current VIST technologies and evaluates a market product, highlighting their role in pandemic safety measures.
Findings
VIST can effectively monitor multiple vital signs simultaneously.
Existing products demonstrate practical deployment in crowded settings.
Technologies reviewed include temperature, heart rate, and oxygen level sensors.
Abstract
With COVID-19 disrupting operations across various sectors of the workforce (e.g., offices, airports, libraries, schools), preventative measures enabling resumption of work are quickly becoming a necessity. In this paper, we present the need for Vitals Screening Techniques (VIST) where more than one vital is screened to ensure the safety of the population (e.g. temperature, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels). VIST can be deployed in crowded environments to provide the new necessary layer of safety. We provide extensive coverage of state-of-art technology that can assist in tackling this emerging problem, and evaluate one of the existing products on the market that employ VIST.
