What are the options available for medical thermometers?

There are two options that have become very popular for medical thermometers: talking models and connected models.

“Talking” or “voice” thermometers: there are non-contact electronic thermometers that read the temperature in less than a second and have a voice function for blind and visually impaired people. This voice function can come in several languages.

Connected thermometers: the thermometer has not been immune to the popular trend of “wearables“ and connected objects. Some models are now equipped with technology capable of continuous remote temperature control. These connected thermometers are particularly useful for monitoring the temperature of babies without waking them up or even going back into their room. These models generally come in the form of an adhesive patch which can be attached to different parts of the body (on the forehead, under the arm, etc.). The patch is connected to a smartphone application that receives data via Bluetooth.
