Abstract in brief

  • Noncontact infrared thermometry (NCIT) is a useful method for measuring human body temperature from a distance, especially for large-scale screening, but proper use is essential to ensure accuracy.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted that many users do not follow the proper guidelines and standards, leading to inaccuracies in temperature readings.
  • The article provides a straightforward checklist based on international standards to help users improve their use of NCIT and better assess human body temperature remotely.]
