Facial Recognition Technology Market Driven By The COVID-19 Pandemic

The use of artificial intelligence combined with surveillance has been extensively used as a weapon in the fight against coronavirus around the world.

With the COVID-19 pandemic, countries and organizations around the World is using AI + facial recognition technologies in combination with other types of biometrics in digital healthcare, disease outbreak prevention, contact tracing, temperature detection and PPE kit compliance checks.

The Covid pandemic significantly changed the dynamics and adoption of the facial recognition market. According to an ABI Research report release, products and softwares offered in this space now allows for facial and iris recognition to recognize and log details about citizens complying with social distancing and face mask norms.

Countries such as Russia and China are extensively used in such facial recognition technology to enforce lockdown restrictions and ensure strict compliances to curb the spread of covid cases.

Moreover, technologies that enable temperature and fever detection, are used in many countries.

In recent days it has been reported that various companies are in discussions with the UK Government regarding the use of facial recognition technology in connection with the new concept of so-called “immunity passports”.

Across the world, countries are considering the use of ‘immunity passports’. These are handed out to those who have recovered from COVID-19 for the purpose of travel. Immunity passports are also known as ‘risk-free certificates’.

Basically, an immunity passport is the quickest and easiest way to prove you've been vaccinated. "It will make it easier to understand who is vaccinated and who is not," Those who are not vaccinated may have to undergo testing or a quarantine when they travel internationally, while those who were vaccinated may have an extremely simpler entry mechanism.

Biometric telemedicine applications are used for remote consultancy and telehealth as a push towards adoption of digital healthcare.

Access to advanced medical services has been one of the medical challenges faced by our present society especially in distant geographical locations which may be inaccessible.

Then the need for telemedicine arises through which live videos of a doctor can be streamed to a patient located anywhere in the world at any time and contact less diagnosis is carried out which is beneficial especially during pandemic

There is immense growth potential and wide range of applications of face detection technology and in the post-pandemic World, where there will be huge demand for automation and contact less operations, this could well be the new normal adoption in our daily life.
