Upper body thermal images and associated clinical data from a pilot cohort study of COVID-19

The prospective upper body thermal images SARS-CoV2 association study was
designed to test the hypothesis that thermal videos may aid in the early
diagnosis of COVID-19. The study recorded a set of measurements from 252
participants regarding PCR results, demographics, vital signs, participant
activities, medications, respiratory symptoms, and a thermal video session
where the volunteers performed simple breath-hold in four different positions.
The acquired data may be used to test clinical association questions regarding
temperature patterns, demographics, and vital signs. Furthermore, it could be
valuable to develop new computer algorithms for extracting useful scientific
information from thermal videos.

前瞻性上半身热成像与新型冠状病毒（SARS-CoV2）关联研究旨在验证热成像视频可辅助新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）早期诊断的研究假说。本研究从252名受试者处采集了多维度数据，涵盖聚合酶链式反应（PCR）检测结果、人口统计学特征、生命体征、受试者活动情况、用药史、呼吸道症状，以及受试者在四种不同体位下完成简单屏气动作的热成像视频采集数据。所获取的数据集可用于验证与体温分布模式、人口统计学特征及生命体征相关的临床关联问题。此外，该数据集还可为研发从热成像视频中提取有效科学信息的新型计算机算法提供支撑。
