Talladega College has selected Draganfly’s (DFLY) Vital Intelligence Smart Vital assessment platform, Vital Signs Assessment Stations and Social Distancing awareness technologies to be used campus-wide to detect potential symptoms of COVID-19.

Draganfly’s Vital Intelligence Smart Vital assessment platform along with the Safely Opening Schools™ protocol provides a quick, non-invasive (contactless) and anonymous measurement of an elevated body temperature and, with voluntary consent, heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature and O2 saturation, all from a camera that takes seconds to capture.

The Social Distancing Awareness unit ensures compliance with social distancing guidelines.

Draganfly CEO Cameron Chell said the company is excited that Talladega College has chosen it’s Vital Intelligence to supplement their health protocols across their campus.

“We look forward to working with their amazing leadership team and providing, in addition to assessment and distancing technology, real-time anonymous data as to the overall health of the campus which has previously not been available.”

Talladega College, Alabama’s first private historically black liberal arts college, has been known for academic excellence for over 153 years. Talladega recently constructed three new facilities and launched its first-ever graduate program. The institution has enjoyed record-high enrollment increases for three consecutive years.

The institution has agreed to purchase and install two Smart Thermal and Vital Sign Assessment units and one Social Distancing Awareness unit to be stationed across the campus and be accessible by staff, faculty and its 1,300-plus students.

Talladega College President Dr. Billy C. Hawkins said the technology solution that Draganfly offers will enhance the extensive protocols the school already has in place.

“Talladega College is committed to maintaining a safe environment for our students, faculty, and staff. We conducted extensive research during the early stages of the pandemic and invested heavily in state-of-the-art health and safety equipment and materials recommended by trusted healthcare authorities. We have left no stone unturned in our effort to keep our campus community safe throughout the pandemic.”

Draganfly’s Smart Vital assessment platform does not register any personal data of the individual being screened.

Draganfly Inc. (DFLY) is up 0.34 percent trading at C$2.93 per share at 1:30 pm EST.
