dc.description.abstractIn medicine, high body temperature is a symptom that characterize an abnormity of human body. By checking body temperature, it allows doctors to well monitor the effectiveness of treatment and also can show that human health is not normal. During pandemic period like COVID-19, high temperature was a sign that allows a doctor to recommend people to pass to COVID-19 test in order to ensure their conditions. However, most of existing system required human interaction while social distance was one of measures taken by World Health Organization (WHO). In COVID-19 pandemic people are afraid to travel because they think that they can be contaminated. Airport considered first to check if passengers have a normal body temperature or not as is the first symptom of COVID-19 even if they have their COVID test certificate. However, the existing system which was used to do this exercise of body temperature sampling was not fair because it could be away of contamination. Scrum Agile software development method has been used from the requirements phase to test and Validation of the developed system. To come out of the problem settled, a thermal Camera based Continuous Body Temperature Measurement system for Pandemic Emergencies has been developed. This system is contactless of body temperature sampling in real time. Passengers are required to pass in corridor to the waiting room where the system is implemented and measure everyone who pass in. when a high body temperature more than 38 is detected, the system alert airport staff in charge by sending notification with a picture of the person with high temperature. Temperature of passengers to the airport has to be sampled without contact, or line up in real time. The developed system through its options gives the possibility to administrators to generate report, to produce an alarm when high temperature detected which were absent in existing system. It has been an answer for time management, minimization of errors when writing report and increased health security. The system has been liked by passengers and administration at different borders and airport of Burundi.en_US
