Rather than being placed in the mouth or placed on the skin to provide a reading, the 'Flo' works by simply being aimed at a person's forehead. The device will instantly offer a reading via smartphone and the device itself (white for lower than normal, green for normal and red for high). Coming in four color options and currently funding on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velia), the 'Flo' Body Temperature Tracker also works as a thermometer for objects, when desired. The thermometer can also be set to read the temperature aloud for enhanced functionality. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Non-invasive Body Temperature Trackers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop smart thermometers that use non-invasive methods to track body temperature, providing ease of use and accurate readings. - **Contactless Health Monitoring Devices:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create contactless health monitoring devices that use advanced technology to track vital signs, offering convenience and real-time data. - **Internet of Things (iot) Integrated Thermometers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate thermometers with IoT technology to enable smart connectivity, allowing users to conveniently monitor temperature remotely. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Healthcare:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced health monitoring devices and smart thermometers for more accurate and convenient patient care. - **Consumer Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the development of non-invasive temperature tracking devices for consumer use, offering improved comfort and ease of use. - **Smart Home:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate contactless thermometers into smart home systems, allowing users to monitor temperature and health within their homes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Touchscreen Thermometer Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touchscreen-thermometer-apps.md) - [Non-Contact Smart Thermometers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hiitcheck.md) - [Toy-Like Duck-Inspired Thermometers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducky-thermometer.md) - [Kinetically Powered Smart Thermometers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bcool-smart-thermometer.md) - [Health-Tracking Key Fobs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portal-vital-monitor.md) - [Digital LED Thermometers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/therm-c.md) - [Smart Pet Thermometers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drpetcare-smart-thermometer.md) - [Temperature-Monitoring Earrings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thermal-earring.md) - [Magnetic Power-Free Food Thermometers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-temperature-detector.md)
