I love it when innovators use smart technology to improve the tools we use for monitoring our health (and the health of our kids).
Check out
this new Smart Thermometer from Kinsa.You use it by plugging it into your smartphone and connecting it to the free Kinsa app. By using your smartphone, Kinsa takes advantage of 25,000X the processing power of a regular digital thermometer. Tapping into the smartphone’s power, processing and display also means there are virtually no electronics inside – and no batteries are required – so the thermometer is extremely lightweight and durable for carrying with you, and is always ready for use.
The app has a little bubble-popping game that your child can play while you're taking his/her temperature so that you can distract him/her. The temperature reading comes up in about 10 seconds. And the app actually tracks the temperature readings so that you don't need to write anything down and you can still keep track of your child's readings.
This Kinsa Smart Thermometer is priced
on the Kinsa website at $24.99, but
if you buy it by clicking through this link, you can get it for $14.99 with free shipping! Fantastic, limited time deal. We don't have kids, but I think this idea is absolutely brilliant and I'm getting it for ourselves.
