Drone discovers 'Corona virus' patients

Technology is being developed to detect suspected "covid-19" patients with drones. The strength of the drone's image algorithm is that it can identify health information of many people at the same time. Researchers at the University of South Australia recently said they have begun developing drones that can detect suspected Covid-19 patients in the air. Jabyan Chail, who leads the research, is working with Canadian drone company Dragonfly to develop a "pandemic drone." The drones they are developing are expected to be able to accurately measure the heart rate and whether people within 5 to 10 meters are breathing, coughing and sneezing as they fly through the air. "We can also measure the health information of people 50 meters away," said Chaile. "We can't monitor every case, but it will be a useful tool for identifying Covid-19 virus infections in a crowded place."
