SteadyTemp Professional App – Terms of Use

1. Scope and Applicability

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern the use of the SteadySense Professional mobile application (“App”) provided by SteadySense GmbH, Johann-Schreiner-Strasse 3, 8074 Raaba-Grambach, Austria (“SteadySense”, “we”, “our”, “us”).

The App is intended exclusively for professional use within healthcare facilities and must be operated in accordance with applicable medical, data protection, and IT security regulations. These terms apply to all institutions, healthcare professionals, and users who install or use the App as part of patient monitoring workflows.

By installing or using the App, the user and the employees of the healthcare institution accept these Terms.

2. Purpose and Functionality

The App is designed to interact with the adhesive wearable temperature sensing SteadyTemp Patch for the purpose of continuous measurement of human body temperature in a clinical environment.

Specifically, the App:

Allows users (e.g. nurses, physicians) to identify patients by scanning their hospital wristband;
Acquires body temperature data from the connected SteadyTemp Patch via Near-Field-Communication (NFC);
Optionally allows manual entry of additional vital parameters (e.g. blood pressure, heart rate, SpO₂, glucose);
Optionally allows user authentication (via OAuth2)
Transmits all collected data securely to a defined endpoint (FHIR-compliant system) over HTTPS, unless configured otherwise by the healthcare facility’s IT administrator.

The App does not transmit any personal data to external parties, cloud services, or analytics platforms (e.g. Google Analytics, Firebase, or social media). It operates solely within the IT network configured by the healthcare facility’s IT administrator.

3. Intended Users and Access Control

The App is intended solely for qualified healthcare professionals (e.g. nurses, doctors, clinical IT staff).
Configuration of network endpoints and data transmission settings is performed by the healthcare facility’s IT administrator.
Unauthorized use or installation outside the hospital environment is strictly prohibited.
If operator authentication is configured, users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their authentication credentials and access rights.

4. Data Processing and Protection

4.1 Data Categories

The App may process the following personal data during operation:

Patient Identifier or encounter ID (from patient wristband);
Continuous temperature data;
If configured, manually entered vital parameters;
Technical metadata (e.g. device ID, timestamps, transmission logs).

All communications between the App and healthcare facility servers are TLS-encrypted, unless configured otherwise by the healthcare facility’s IT administrator.
Data remain within the healthcare facility’s IT environment and are not stored on the App once transmitted.
