DALLAS, TX – Dallas-based, Wello, Inc., the company behind welloStationX—the only automated, FDA-cleared no-touch thermometer, announced today it has reached a major milestone: more than six million temperature scans. Fever is the leading indicator of infection and the best predictor of contagiousness. And as the COVID-19 pandemic rages on and continues to cripple the U.S., Wello is helping to keep workers safe and businesses thriving through temperature monitoring and infectious disease detection.
Wello, Inc. is not new to temperature monitoring. The company’s founder, Rik Heller, developed the welloStationX in 2014 in response to the Ebola crisis. Since that time, safety-conscious businesses in industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, government, and more have used the welloStationX to keep productivity high and avoid outbreaks that could lead to shutdowns and cost millions in lost revenue.
“Our employees appreciate that the company has invested in equipment to keep them safe. The Wello badges give them peace of mind knowing that all their coworkers have been screened that day,” said Mike Dee, plant manager at USG, the largest distributor of wallboard in the United States.
The welloStationX is being used by companies such as American Packaging Corporation, CBRE, MacLean Fogg, and McGard as part of their overall health and safety strategies. “Temperature monitoring isn’t absolute protection from outbreaks, but it is a crucial piece of an overall health and safety plan. When done consistently and with accuracy, temperature monitoring can detect even the slightest increases in individual body temperature, which may indicate contagiousness, and even predict outbreaks in certain departments or areas of a facility. That information is invaluable for safety executives who are tasked with keeping workers safe and operations running,” shared the company’s founder and CEO, Rik Heller.
The welloStationX delivers peace of mind to business leaders and their employees by providing:
- Clinical accuracy
- Privacy-conscious temperature screening data
- Completely touchless monitoring that keeps staff members off the frontlines
- Predictive analysis indicators that alert staff members of potential outbreaks
“We’re challenging business leaders to re-think their role in slowing the spread of infectious disease now and after the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Lauren Berk, COO of Wello. “The role of our customers isn’t to diagnose employees, but it is to lower the threat of infection for their population. We’ve noticed a trend among companies who implement Wello as part of their overall health and safety program, they are unwaveringly safety-conscious types who have set a new, higher standard for keeping contagious disease at bay.”
