AB  - The outbreak of infectious diseases such as influenza, dengue fever, and severe 
      acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) are threatening the global health. Especially, 
      developing countries in the South-East Asia region have been at serious risk. 
      Rapid and highly reliable screening of infection is urgently needed during the 
      epidemic season at mass gathering places, such as airport quarantine facilities, 
      public health centers, and hospital outpatients units, etc. To meet this need, 
      our research group is currently developing a multiple vital-signs based infection 
      screening system that can perform human medical inspections within 15 seconds. 
      This system remotely monitors facial temperature, heart and respiration rates 
      using a thermopile array and a 24-GHz microwave radar, respectively. In this 
      work, we redesigned our previous system to make a higher performance with a 
      user-friendly interface. Moreover, the system newly included a multivariable 
      logistic regression model (MLRM) to determine the possibility of infection. We 
      tested the system on 34 seasonal influenza patients and 35 normal control 
      subjects at the Japan Self-Defense Forces Central Hospital. The sensitivity and 
      specificity of the screening system using the MLRM were 85.3% and 88.6%, 
      respectively.
