Sensing predators, now fever

A group developing technology for smart thermal camera systems for predator control has teamed up with University of Canterbury mechanical engineers, Callaghan Innovation, and the Auckland Bioengineering Institute to help detect fever at our borders, hospitals, supermarkets and other workplaces. Founder of the Cacophony project Grant Ryan shares the idea with Kathryn Ryan of developing an innovative sensor device which can carry out thousands of temperature tests daily whose usual application is ridding NZ of rats, stoats and possums.
