Mission

In respect to Exergen's mission, Francesco Pompei, Ph.D., the CEO of Exergen Corporation stated that, "Our mission is based on the fact that nothing matters more than accuracy in temperature taking, whether in a professional setting or at home."^[3] In 2023, Exergen through Pompei emphasized the importance of this mission ahead of cold and flu season stating, "It is our responsibility to educate healthcare professionals and consumers that non-contact infrared thermometers (NCITs) are inaccurate, and on how to correctly take a temperature reading."^[4]
