5 smart thermometers to enter temperature taking in the modern age


Smart thermometers are a smartphone-connected upgrade over the good old fashioned temp takers. They let you monitor the patient's temperature wirelessly and keep track of temperature changes over time via a connected application. Thanks to advances in technology, some of them take the form of disposable patches that you can apply and remove without disturbing the patient, while others have portable kid-friendly designs that won't take space in your travel bag or disturb your young ones. So, there you have it - five fine choices for smart connected thermometers. They are yours for the taking, so shop wisely!

Kinsa


Kinsa smart thermometers are FDA-cleared for accuracy and take temperature readings in seconds. The free connected app tracks fever readings, symptoms, diagnoses, medication doses and other notes in a time-stamped log, for each member of the family. It also offers real-time guidance based on age and fever reading, so you know when you should call a doctor and what to do next.



Fever Smart


Fever Smart’s technology is simple and easy to use. A small electronic device – the “Brain Unit” – is attached to the patient via a disposable patch, and the “Relay Unit” sits in the same room. The Brain Unit monitors body temperature and transmits data real-time through a nano-bluetooth chip to the Relay Unit, which then sends the temperature data to Fever Smart’s servers.

Using a smart phone or any Internet-connected device, a Fever Smart user, be it a parent or healthcare provider, can constantly monitor the patient’s temperature in real time and receive alerts when their temperature begins to rise or reaches unsafe levels. Patients will build important personal temperature data sets that can be used to track temperature changes over time.
