Healthcare Uses:

10. Musculoskeletal problems – thermal imaging cameras can be used to diagnose a variety of disorders associated with neck, back and limbs.

11.  Cancer detection – whilst infrared cameras have been shown to clearly indicate the presence of breast and other cancers this is not recommended as an early stage diagnostic tool.

12. Infection – quickly locate potential areas of infection (indicated by abnormal temperature profile).

Knowing whether a potential area on your body is infected could be a game changer after SHTF, as is trying to determine if someone has cancer. Who knew this device could help with important healthcare issues as well!

On the next slide check out some electrical uses for this thermal imaging device. If you're into solar panels, in particular, you're going to want to check this clever use out!

    I wouldn’t mind having one of those. Even at 100m, it would still be handy.

    For the people saying $600 bucks isn’t cheap. Rewind just a short 9 years ago and these things were the size of a cinder block with shitty resolution selling for around 10k. Yeah $600 is still expensive for the average consumer such as myself but compared to what they were that’s way more affordable. Hell last time I was at a gun show I seen a thermo selling for 70 bucks and it could attach to your iPhone.
