Abstract
The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for integrating healthcare screening with other identity-based functions. In general, components facilitating healthcare screening interoperate with and/or are integrated into other systems, including facility access, identity, time keeping, payroll, etc. Aspects of the invention include using facial recognition to improve healthcare screening and satisfy governmental regulations. A thermal scanner can include a camera and an InfraRed (IR) camera. The thermal scanner can collect a facial image and derive a temperature for a person (e.g., from an IR image). The thermal scanner can also collect or access previously collected healthcare screening questionnaire answers. The collected temperate and healthcare screening questionnaire answers can be used to control access to the facility. For example, the person can be denied access when the collected temperature exceeds a defined temperate threshold and/or healthcare screening questionnaire answers indicate the person may be sick.
