TempTraq: wireless continuous temperature monitor
The TempTraq wireless, continuous temperature monitor is an FDA-cleared Class II medical device in the form of a soft, disposable patch. According to the manufacturer, the monitor can improve the way temperature is measured in the clinical environment and provide clinicians a quicker, easier, and more effective way to measure temperature.
In a recent study published in the journal Pediatric Blood and cancer shows how continuous temperature monitoring via a Bluetooth-enabled wearable patch can detect fever hours earlier than a conventional thermometer. Additionally, continuous temperature monitoring can help scientists view how a treatment affects body temperature in real time without relying on self-reporting from clinical trial patients.
