Draganfly Inc. has announced that it is expanding its partnership with Alabama State University (ASU) in a move to upgrade its Vital Intelligence Smart Vital Assessment Stations, and delivering its patented drone technology Varigard sanitizing spray for ASU’s annual Labor Day Classic football game.
ASU made history last year by becoming the first university in the United States to implement Draganfly’s safety system as part of the Safely Opening Schools Program, which provides an integrated health and screening protocol to be used campus-wide to screen, detect, assess, protect, and provide continuous action against the potential threat of infectious diseases, including COVID-19.
The Smart Vital system monitors, with voluntary consent, vital signs including but not limited to temperature, heart rate, breathing rate and blood oxygen content (SpO2). The system does not register any personal data of the individual being screened. The Social Distancing Awareness unit also ensures adherence with social distancing guidelines.
Draganfly’s Varigard pathogen and surface sanitizer will be sprayed throughout ASU Stadium ahead of the Labour Day Classic where the Alabama State University Hornets will take on the Golden Bears of Miles College on September 4, 2021.
“The partnership we have developed with Draganfly in ensuring that the campus at Alabama State University remains safe for our faculty, staff and students is invaluable,” Dr. Quinton T. Ross Jr., President, ASU, was quoted as saying.
“We are excited to deliver our upgraded Vital Assessment kiosks to Alabama State University and to deliver Draganfly’s patented drone technology of the Varigard one-of-a-kind, revolutionary organic sanitizer. This product has been a game-changer to enable the likes of Alabama State University, Barrett-Jackson Auto Auctions, and others to safely welcome the return of attendees to their events during the pandemic,” Cameron Chell, CEO of Draganfly, was quoted as saying.
