“Withings Thermo was designed to finally provide families with a solution that they can trust to provide highly accurate temperature readings in seconds, without having to wake the ill child or manually log their health levels,” Cedric Hutchings, VP of Digital Health at Nokia, said in a statement.

With its ease of use, Thermo is capable to measure body temperature from a distance of 1 centimeter away from the body and get an accurate reading with an array of 16 infrared sensors that take 4,000 measurements to detect the hottest point, all in just 2 seconds.  The device has a very small coloured LED indicator or screen where one can read the measured temperature.

You can create multiple profiles of users; enter comments (mark when they have had the prescribed medicine for instance), medications, and even photos in any user profile. The device is in connected to the Thermo app which automatically syncs all the readings on the phone and based on age, fever history, and symptoms, this app also gives advanced health advice.

The device is priced at $99.95, and it works with two AAA batteries. It can last up to 2 years so you don’t have to charge it every day, or even every month.
