Patriot One will use the investment to develop the public health and safety module of its PATSCAN technology.
PATSCAN is a digital multi-sensor threat detection platform, with the investment going towards development of the PATSCAN VRS version of the technology.
PATSCAN is a modular technology, and PATSCAN VRS is a version of the digital technology focused on public health and safety, something incredibly important in the current climate.
The health and safety detection modules can perform elevated thermal body heat detection, facial mask screening, monitor social distancing and conduct contract tracing.

The company aims to apply machine learning to the anomalous heat signatures from coronavirus suffers.
The company currently has two separate AI teams working on solving this problem.

Martin Cronin, the CEO of Patriot One, said the company’s mission had always been to create safer communities, by detecting dangers before they become threats to our communities.
“We believe our thermal camera solution will greatly help businesses, healthcare, retail, sport, entertainment and hospitality industries as they re-open the economy,” he said.
