Health Wearable That Accurately Detects Fever and Temperature Spikes

Wearables designed to monitor health are on the rise.  From devices that measure glucose levels (See our article: Wearable for Diabetics ), to wearables like STEER that prevent you from sleeping at the wheel, the wearable market is getting really interesting.   And now there is an FDA approved wearable that can accurately detect fever and temperature spikes.  Fever Scout is a thermometer patch that can be worn below the armpit for continuous temperature monitoring.

No more waking babies, children or loved ones up in the middle of the night to poke something in their ears or under their tongues.  Fever Scout is a soft, sticker-like, wearable that sends information wirelessly to your smartphone or tablet.  You no longer need to get up in the middle of the night to check on your child.  Bedtime interruptions are only necessary when your loved one really needs you. Just check the app to see how they are doing.  Fever Scout is able to monitor temperatures from up to 100 feet away.  It will send alerts and temperature readings even when your phone is in sleep mode.  If a temperature spike is detected the alert is sent immediately so you can take the necessary actions.  You can track your child’s temperature to see real-time improvement in your child’s health.  This information can be shared with other users (e.g. other parent or yourself when you are away from home and acaregiver is looking after your little one), for everyone’s peace of mind.

With continuous use the battery will last about a week.  Fever Scout is rechargeable so it is always ready when needed.  The patch can be left on for 1-2 full days and is water resistant.  Fever Scout has a one-year warranty.

The Fever Scout isn’t just for kids, it’s for everyone.  Because fever is often the first sign of infection the patch is great for post-operative patients, cancer patients and seniors.  You can easily share medical information with your doctor by recording symptoms, medications and causes through the product’s app.

When someone you love is sick there is nothing that gives peace of mind better than knowing how they are doing 24/7.  The patch provides peace of mind when you need it most.  We love the direction health-based wearables are going. With products like Fever Scout coming out with increasing regularity, it is exciting to think about what will come next.
