The global healthcare industry has undergone a massive transformation over the last few months, primarily because of the outbreak of the COVID-19 infection all over the world. From the development of advanced healthcare instruments and tools to the incorporation of contactless medical devices in the healthcare settings, there have been numerous radical changes in medical practices all over the world since the last few months, owing to which, the healthcare industry of today is completely different to how it was pre-COVID-19.
The contactless thermometer is one such recent innovation in the healthcare industry. In addition to providing a safe and contactless method of temperature monitoring to the healthcare practitioners, the contactless thermometers offer much higher accuracy in their temperature readings than the conventionally used thermometers. The other major factors responsible for the surging sales of contactless thermometers throughout the world are the increasing awareness amongst the people about advanced healthcare instruments and the increasing medical expenditure in many countries. Due to these factors, the global contactless thermometer market is predicted to boom from 2020 to 203 (forecast period).
Simply speaking, a contactless thermometer or an infrared thermometer, as it is sometimes called, scans the infrared heat radiated from the human body in order to calculate the temperature of the body. The temperature reading is displayed in digital format on a LCD (liquid crystal display) screen. Fixed-mount and handheld thermometers are the main types of contactless thermometers used in the various healthcare settings. Of these, the demand for the handheld thermometers is expected to be higher in the future years, mainly because of the greater convenience offered by these thermometers as compared to the fixed-mount ones.
