A patch is revolutionizing the digital thermometer market
Is your child feeling unwell? Until now, you had to reach for the traditional fever thermometer. Many medicine cabinets still contain digital fever thermometers that—if you want an accurate reading—can only be used in very uncomfortable places. Infrared ear or forehead thermometers only make you feel better until you measure twice in a row and realize: You would have to hit exactly the same spot at exactly the same angle every time to get comparable results!
But there is finally a new way to measure body temperature and detect fever early. Continuous, non-invasive, real-time monitoring of body temperature is now available to everyone.
A technology that used to be reserved for hospitals is now available for home use as well. The intelligent SteadyTemp Home sensor patch for professional preventive healthcare at home, together with the accompanying health app, enables continuous temperature measurement around the clock—so you can always keep an eye on temperature and symptoms. Even while you sleep.
Fever means the body is fighting an infection
What is SteadyTemp?
[SteadyTemp is a skin-friendly, smart patch](SteadyTemp – Technologie & Wissenschaft dahinter) that enables continuous body temperature measurement around the clock. Conventional digital thermometers provide single readings that are taken sporadically and inaccurately. SteadyTemp measures your body temperature at 5-minute intervals for up to 7 days. Continuous measurement allows temperature curves and trends to be displayed graphically in the app. Using a smartphone and NFC, the patch can be read in seconds at any time—which also means the patch emits no radiation and cannot be read unnoticed by anyone. You will no longer miss nighttime fever spikes, you can track minute by minute whether medications such as fever reducers are working, and you can also use the app as a health diary.
Professional healthcare at home
Most households today have a digital thermometer or an infrared forehead or ear thermometer. Until recently, this was the best technology available for the private market. Continuous, accurate temperature measurement was reserved for hospitals and clinics—mainly in intensive care units. But with SteadyTemp, there is good news: The most advanced sensor technology for temperature measurement is now available for the whole family! While the sensor patch continuously measures body temperature, the app can also be used as a symptom tracker and personal health diary. It is available free of charge in the App Store and in the Google Play Store!
SteadyTemp can be used like a continuously measuring digital thermometer that measures and records body temperature around the clock in the same place. The recorded temperature values are transferred to the accompanying app on your smartphone, where they are displayed graphically so you can see temperature curves and trends at a glance. With the free Health Journal app, you can create a detailed patient record and track temperature, symptoms, treatment, and recovery—so you can experience professional healthcare at home.
How it works
Create a detailed user profile with relevant personal medical information such as allergies, blood type, or chronic conditions—just as a doctor in a hospital would. Monitor the course of your illness and add symptoms, photos (rashes, etc.), medications, or treatments. Soon you will even be able to set reminders so you do not forget medications or appointments, and the doctor search function will also be going online soon. The recorded temperature curve is displayed graphically in the app, so you can track your fever, treatment, and recovery minute by minute. SteadyTemp is your personal patient record, and all information you record can be exported and, if desired, shared with your doctor.
Why is SteadyTemp better than a regular digital thermometer?
Very simple: SteadyTemp measures your temperature continuously, not just individual spot readings. Continuous temperature measurement provides temperature curves, trends, and fever patterns. While a regular thermometer only shows the current temperature, SteadyTemp can show not only the current temperature but also the temperature progression over the entire time you have worn the patch. This means you can see how your temperature changed overnight while you were asleep, or read the entire temperature curve of your sleeping child without waking them.
However, SteadyTemp offers more than continuous temperature measurement. With the accompanying app, you have your personal patient record directly on your smartphone. You can track temperature, symptoms, blood pressure, and much more, add medications, and monitor all aspects of treating an infection. Create a detailed user profile that contains all important medical details about the user and their illness. If you need to consult a doctor, you have all details captured in one place and in a timeline. Important details are not overlooked or forgotten. And that, in turn, means faster treatment and a faster, better recovery!
