Limiting Covid Risks With New Technologies

With the start of fall semester just around the corner, many students, faculty and staff will begin heading back to campus within the next few weeks. Colleges, whether fully or partially open, are searching for effective ways to track the health of the campus community from a distance and are increasingly turning to telemedical and artificial-intelligence solutions to help.

Join for a virtual forum discussion where Chronicle senior reporter Alex Kafka will be joined by industry leader experts and college leaders to discuss topics including:
– How to monitor symptoms including temperatures and respiratory rates from a distance
– Using artificial intelligence programs to perform health screenings, check-ins and amplify the impact of in-person visits
– How to coordinate technologies with contact-tracing and quarantines to keep campuses as safe as possible
