Predictiv AI Inc (CVE:PAI) (OTCMKTS:INOTF) (FRA:71TA), a software and solutions provider in the artificial intelligence (AI) market, said it has sold and installed “multiple” ThermalPass temperature scanning systems in one of North Carolina’s largest school districts.  The Toronto-based company said that in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) new in-person reopening mandate, the ThermalPass touchless temperature screening system has been installed in multiple locations at Iredell-Statesville Schools in the heart of North Carolina, where over 20,000 students attend classes across 37 campuses.  “We were very impressed with the ease of use of the product and are thrilled to have implemented it as another layer of protection within our health and safety protocols,” Kenny Miller, Assistant Superintendent of Facilities and Planning, at Iredell-Statesville Schools, said in a statement.  READ: Predictiv AI installs ThermalPass scanners at Memorial Healthcare System facilities in south Broward County, Florida “Its accuracy and the speed of scanning, all within the normal movement of our students, allows us to dedicate resources elsewhere that would otherwise be required to operate manual temperature screening solutions. The system also allows us to remain socially distanced and to adhere to the CDC guidelines.” Miller pointed out that working with the ThermalPass team was “extremely easy” as they are “customer-oriented and interested in providing a quality product, at a reasonable price,” with “superior service” after the purchase. “I highly recommend ThermalPass and their team if you need a simple, effective, reasonable health screening solution,” Miller added. Jason Elmaleh, President of Commersive Solutions, joint venture partner in ThermalPass said: “We’re thrilled to be working with such a dedicated group of educators, who see the value in our solution now, during the pandemic and beyond, as we start to get back to our normal lives.” “If we are able to reduce the average number of sick days taken from students being out of school by just half a day, that will result in well over a half-million dollars of additional district funding for Iredell-Statesville Schools that would otherwise not be disbursed." While many factors contribute to school absenteeism, student illness is believed to be the main driver of student absenteeism. The average student in the US (K-12) misses 4.5 days per school year, while the average teacher misses 5.3 days per school year, according to a report by EMist. The total loss of funding to education systems associated with student absenteeism each year in the US is pegged at US$10.7 billion. “We anticipate the education market for ThermalPass will expand rapidly, especially in the US, where the American Rescue Plan Act was just passed,” said Predictiv AI CEO Michael Lende. “This COVID-19 stimulus package includes an unprecedented $1.9 trillion aid package to help state agencies and school districts reopen and sustain the safe operation of schools.” More information on how Predictiv AI’s ThermalPass scanners work can be gleaned from the company’s website, Facebook page and Twitter feed.
