Toddler Temperature Tellers

The Easy Read Thermometer Uses Heat-Sensitive Fabric and LED Display

— November 3, 2011 — Life-Stages
Babies might be susceptible to cold and fevers any time of the year, but with winter rolling around in many parts of the world, it is important to take extra precautions to make sure they remain in perfect health, which is what the Easy Read Thermometer aims to do. Although this temperature reader won't prevent sickness, it can signal a sickness much easier and earlier than traditional thermometers. Since toddlers hate to be poked and prodded (who doesn't hate to that?), parents will feel much more comfortable taking their temperature with the Easy Read Thermometer.

Designed by Wang Dongwei and Liu Yisha, the Easy Read Thermometer combines new technology with a common delivery method. Although the strip has been used before, this thermometer introduces heat-sensitive materials and a distinct LED display that makes it very cutting edge.
Trend Themes
1. Heat-sensitive Fabric - The use of heat-sensitive fabric for thermometers creates opportunities for more accurate, non-invasive temperature taking in healthcare settings.
2. LED Display - LED displays for thermometers offer an easier, more convenient way for parents to monitor the health of their children, and have potential applications in healthcare settings as well.
3. Non-invasive Thermometers - Non-invasive thermometers, such as those utilizing heat-sensitive fabrics, are a disruptive innovation in the healthcare industry with the potential to significantly improve patient comfort and medical outcomes.
Industry Implications
1. Healthcare - The healthcare industry can benefit from the use of non-invasive, accurate, and easy-to-use thermometers for patient monitoring and early disease detection.
2. Consumer Electronics - Consumer electronics companies have the opportunity to enhance thermometers with features such as LED displays and other advanced technologies to meet the needs of parents and healthcare professionals alike.
3. Childcare - The childcare industry can benefit from the use of non-invasive, easy-to-use thermometers to monitor the health of children in their care and respond early to signs of illness.
