Minneapolis technology company launches innovative health security kiosk that helps mitigate the spread of Covid-19

Municipal Parking Services, Inc. (MPS) today announced the launch of the first and only automated system to help mitigate the asymptomatic spread of Covid-19 in public and private facilities through detection of high temperatures, inspection of hand hygiene and access control.

Known as Sentry Health Kiosk ™, the system was inspired by the company's line of contactless smart parking products, currently installed in municipalities and universities worldwide. Sentry Health Kiosk ™ is a non-contact kiosk that automatically measures and reports body temperature, monitors hand hygiene and manages access control - all creating a complete audit trail.

The system uses MPS 'patented technologies to provide greater security and peace of mind to consumers, employees and employers. With an optional facial recognition function, you can also ensure compliance with local masking standards.

"Studies show that most people with Covid-19 are asymptomatic, which means that having a device that only measures temperatures is, at best, inappropriate," said Joe Caldwell , founder of Sentry Health. "According to experts, the best way to protect yourself and to mitigate the spread of a virus is to simply wash your hands. The Sentry Health Kiosk is the only system that meets both requirements: temperature measurement and supervised hand hygiene. If someone do not complete the process, you simply will not be able to enter. "

  • The technology also allows the transmission of personalized health information and other data, whether by remote and local video calls or via the smart interactive screen. 
  • MPS is significantly expanding its capacity to meet the growing demand for the kiosk.
  • The company will donate 5% of Sentry Health's profits to install kiosks at food banks and other nonprofits.
