Smart thermometer is ready to track your kid's fever all day long
You no longer have to disturb your kid's sleep just to see if that fever is getting any better. Months after its CES debut, Blue Spark's TempTraq thermometer is available for a fairly reasonable $25. The Bluetooth patch keeps tabs on a child's temperature in relative comfort for a full 24 hours, giving your progeny a chance to rest instead of enduring yet another probe in the ear. It can warn you if the temperature gets above a certain level, and you can use the Android and iOS apps to log when your tiny patient eats or takes medicine. This won't track the illness from start to finish, unfortunately, but it might be all you need for that one day when you're worried your little one's condition might get worse.
This Bluetooth thermometer patch could bring an end to infant ear violations
Since they don't yet have the power of speech, babies often have difficulty telling you when they're getting ill. For instance, if your munchkin starts running a fever in the night, you won't know about it until they start screaming, and sticking a probe into their ear won't make them very happy either. That's where TempTraq comes in, a thermometer in the form of a soft, stick-on patch that transmits your little one's vital signs straight to your smartphone.
