Cork nursing home trials Covid-19 detection system

Oaklodge Nursing Home in Cloyne, Co Cork, is the first nursing home to pilot innovative remote temperature checking software that can detect early Covid-19 warning symptoms in staff.

The Covid-19 Remote Early Warning System (CREW), developed by software development company 8 West Consulting with the College of Medicine and Health at UCC, the Assert centre and Tyndall Institute, was initially trialled at Cork University Hospital over the past two weeks.
