'I-ELF' is a new mobile thermometer that connects directly to a smartphone. While there are a number of baby thermometers on the market, these devices are not designed for portability. In contrast, I-ELF is small enough to be carried around in a pocket.
I-ELF works by using infrared technology to take the body and water temperature of a child. Simply plug the tiny thermometer into your smartphone's headphone jack and the device will take a contact-free reading of a child's temperature. This information is then relayed to the accompanying smartphone app, where it is stored for future reference. The hands-free device is not only easy to use, but it is also safe and accurate.
Beyond taking a child's temperature, the device can also be used by women who are trying to conceive.
