Thermo
the first Wi-Fi connected temporal thermometer
The Withings Thermo measures temperature from the temporal artery and it takes an accurate reading of your temperature using 16 infrared sensors .Once the process is finished, Thermo will buzz and show a reading on the LED display. A green indication will show normal heat levels, orange is moderate, and red indicates elevated temperatures. Withings offers a mobile app to take notes and keep logs of a family member’s temperature throughout the week, to see if they’re getting better.
Connecting the thermometer to Wi-Fi also allows the user to send and receive information or to create a log for the family doctor to check. Thermo offers advice on room and house heating, as well.
