Introduction

Pulmonary Embolism (PE) is a common condition with significant morbidity and mortality. Prompt recognition, diagnosis and management is important, as untreated PE complications are high; also treatment with long term anticoagulation has serious complications.

Abstract:

Many infectious diseases are most transmittable when the carrier is presenting with fever. We propose a disposable face mask that changes color as an indicator of fever to provide hospitals with a quick and inexpensive method for triaging infected patients while limiting exposure to others. Two blue thermochromatic dyes which transition to white at 89°F and 92°F were mixed with white paint and applied to 5 types of disposable face masks. During trials, a wearer either sat at rest or ran on a treadmill for 20 minutes and images were obtained every 5 minutes with a thermal camera to …
