Challenge: | Innovation | Category: | Senior | Region: | Waterloo-Wellington | City: | Waterloo, ON | School: | Waterloo Collegiate Institute | Abstract: | ThermIS is an automated system to detect symptoms of viral infections.

This system can be useful in optimizing airport security, with potential applications in medicine as well. |
