About the Therm-App

thermal imaging camera

Therm-App is just one in a long line of innovations developed by Opgal Optronic Industries. Since its inception in 1983, Opgal has been at the forefront of developing high performance, versatile visualization hardware and software products for various markets using its state-of-the-art thermal and other advanced electro-optical technologies.

Always seeking innovative applications for its thermal imaging technology, the company asked a simple question: How do we take thermal imaging to the burgeoning mobile market? That’s how Therm-App was born — through combining a compact and convenient thermal imaging camera with the built-in capabilities of Android devices. The result: An innovative tool that’s easy to use, while giving its users a broad array of capabilities – far beyond anything a built-in phone camera can deliver.

Therm-App initially delivered professional, affordable thermal imaging and thermographic capabilities to many professional industries, such as security, electrical, plumbing, building inspections, technicians, etc. Therm-App ensured accurate measurements with the ability to transmit them directly from the field.

Featured in “10 Tech Ideas That Changed the World in 2014,” Therm-App has captured the imagination of users worldwide.

In 2020 the COVID19 pandemic hit, and Opgal made the strategic decision, based on experience gained during the 2003 SARS outbreak, to repurpose the Therm-App as a tool for Elevated Body Temperature measurement (EBT).
