We asked ourselves a key question during this difficult time of crisis: how can our company best contribute to the public and to brands? That’s where the idea for the <\/span><\/i>Totem Term\u00f4metro<\/i><\/b> came from, and we’re going to introduce it to you in this post.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Our <\/span>newest product<\/b> was born from the idea of using <\/span>technology<\/b> to deliver information to people and streamline the entire manual process of taking body temperatures, which is currently done on the front lines of every public and private venue that needs to adapt to the <\/span>new normal<\/span><\/i> and reopen safely for everyone. <\/span><\/p>\n

Retailers, for example, have started taking a series of protective measures in their stores, such as limiting the number of people allowed inside at a time. Likewise, private venues across the board have made hand sanitizer available and stationed employees at their entrances to take people’s <\/span>temperature<\/b>. With that in mind, we saw an opportunity to create an effective solution through a digital product capable of automating these tasks. We set out to find a way to eliminate physical contact entirely, making people even safer, while also delivering information and data in real time. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Totem<\/p>\n

The Product<\/b><\/h4>\n

The Totem Term\u00f4metro is an interactive technology built with state-of-the-art sensors that measure the temperature of each person about to enter an indoor space. It was designed to stand at the entrance of a venue, replacing the employee who puts themselves at risk by taking on the job of checking everyone’s temperature.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Totem<\/p>\n

The Totem features a screen that displays the user’s temperature reading along with customized content; for example, it can generate QR code discount coupons for shoppers. Another advantage of the content screen is that it can display additional health information and precautions the person should take, depending on the temperature reading. <\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, the Totem’s visual interaction works in two stages: <\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Looping CALL TO ACTION<\/b>: to grab attention and let the public know what the Totem does, a video plays on a loop in the intervals between one user and the next. <\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Personalized content:<\/b> when a user approaches the Totem, the sensor triggers the temperature reading, which appears on the screen. After the reading, the screen displays personalized content, ranging from a corporate or promotional video to a discount QR code, as well as a variety of messages.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Benefits<\/b><\/h4>\n

    The Totem Term\u00f4metro was created to solve the challenges of taking body temperatures at the entrance of indoor spaces, whether private or public. Since fever is one of the symptoms of COVID-19 and the disease is highly contagious, automating this task reduces the risk of direct contact between people. <\/span><\/p>\n

    The product offers digital interaction that generates real-time data, such as foot traffic and the number of readings per hour, day, week and month. This reveals customer metrics and patterns\u2014resources that are essential, especially now, for measuring and understanding shifts in consumer behavior. <\/span><\/p>\n

    For the general public, the benefit lies in having their body temperature taken without any direct contact with another person. This ensures that the entire interaction when entering an indoor space happens at a distance, with no need to touch any part of the screen or the Totem as a whole, preventing the possibility of transmission. As a result, your business is seen as a safe place for people.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"Totem<\/p>\n

    Our technology was developed using sensors that detect movement and transmit information to receivers in real time. In addition, the Totem provides health information to anyone with a temperature of 37.5 \u00baC or higher. In other words, it helps:<\/span><\/p>\n

    – Raise awareness and alert people about their health;<\/span><\/p>\n

    – Show that fever is one of the main symptoms of COVID-19;<\/span><\/p>\n

    – Remind everyone to keep an eye on their temperature, since there is still no vaccine to defeat the disease once and for all. And the best approach is prevention.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \nAnd there’s more…<\/b><\/h4>\n

    Any indoor space that now needs to limit the number of people coming in can count on the Totem Term\u00f4metro. <\/span><\/p>\n
