Fobi AI (TSX-V:FOBI, OTCQB:FOBIF) Inc., formerly known as Loop Insights Inc., announced that advanced drone solutions provider Draganfly (CSE:DFLY)'s (CSE:DFLY) Vital Intelligence technology has been integrated into its own Venue Management System for conferences and events

The Vancouver, British Columbia-based advanced technology company said that its venue management platform will now offer Draganfly (CSE:DFLY)’s Smart Vital assessment system as a “key product offering” to Fobi’s Passcreator mobile Wallet passes, proprietary Smart Tap Devices, Smart Scan Pass Validation App, and Insight Portal for event analytics.

Prior to an event, Fobi enables organizers to prompt their guests to complete health protocol screening on their mobile phones. Using the phone’s camera, Draganfly’s Smart Vital system monitors with voluntary consent vital signs which include body temperature, heart rate, breathing rate, and blood oxygen content. “It does not register and store any personal data of the individual being screened,” said the company.

“Draganfly’s Vital Intelligence products have been game-changers for universities, corrections facilities, sporting events and large scale conferences over the course of the past 18 months,” Draganfly CEO Cameron (NYSE:CAM) Chell said in a statement.

“We are excited to partner with Fobi on this critical platform that will help to ensure people can confidently attend conferences and events because they know they are safe.”

In April, Fobi partnered with bdG Sports to run venue management at the NCAA men’s and women’s tournaments including the Big West Conference Championship. Fobi was also contracted to provide venue management for the MGM Resorts Championship PGA Event in Las Vegas.

Fobi has recently signed a national deal to bring its venue management solutions to the Canadian Hockey League, the world’s largest development hockey league with over 9 million fans in attendance to watch games.

According to Pollstar, the pandemic resulted in more than US$30 billion in lost revenue for the live events industry in 2020. However, Market Research Future (MRFR) expects the global event management software market to reach nearly US$14.6 billion by 2025 with a compound annual growth rate of 11.68%.

Fobi allows event organizers to manage access permissions based on automated health symptom pre-screening, customizable pre-screening questionnaires as well as vaccination status. It recently released CheckVax Validator, its universal app-less proof of vaccination validation solution, to support Smart Health Cards (SHCs), which have been adopted to verify vaccination credentials in parts of the US and Canada.

“It is a difficult time for businesses. Our goal is to support them in their ability to comply with the health and safety protocols in place,” said Fobi CEO Rob Anson. “That’s why we are proud to have Draganfly as a partner. The Draganfly Vital Intelligence technology is helping us quickly respond to the ever-changing market needs and requirements as a result of government mandates and legislation.”
