The ongoing pandemic is seeing many institutions and communities attempt to get back to normal with health screening protocols in place, which is what the conceptual 'Portal' vital monitor aims to help make a little more intuitive.
Designed by William Fairnington, the device works by being carried like a key fob and could be easily held at the wrist to take temperature readings before entering a school or place of business. This would function as a way to prevent those who are sick from entering, while also protecting the privacy of the user.
The conceptual 'Portal' vital monitor also functions as a heart rate and blood oxygen tracker to make it a well-rounded addition to a student or professional's health maintenance routine.
