Netanya, Israel, June 04, 2015 -- Israeli inventor Simon Dotan is a parent. As such, he knows that taking the temperature of an infant or toddler is a bit of a challenge.
So Dotan developed a new type of child thermometer that is not only easy, painless and non-invasive – but can also be monitored on a Smartphone. It’s called Temp-A-Sure and attaches to a child’s diaper or pants.
“You can monitor your child's rising fever on a Smartphone screen while doing everyday activities like working on a computer, cooking or talking on a phone,” says Dotan.
“Your baby won't even feel the Temp-A-Sure thermometer and you’ll be aware of his or her temperature change no matter where you are, no matter what you’re doing.”
The Smartphone app can be preset to a specific temperature and send an alarm when that level has been exceeded. There’s no need to be constantly checking a child’s temperature.
“This new product is going to create a more peaceful and convenient environment for parents all over the world,” Dotan says.
LifeMedics, the company developing this device, has perfected the design and prototypes have been tested. The remaining steps are to fine-tune the cellular application and initiate a marketing campaign.
The budget to complete this project is estimated at $30,000. In order to generate this funding, Dotan has launched an Indiegogo campaign, which can be viewed at https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/temp-a-sure.
Donations of any amount are welcome. For $69, backers will receive a Temp-A-Sure thermometer, nearly 50 percent off the suggested retail price of $139. Shipping to the US or Canada is an additional $10. The shipping cost elsewhere is $20.
If you’d like to become a Temp-A-Sure distributor, 20 units can be purchased for $1,060. Please add $40 shipping for the US and Canada, and $80 elsewhere.
“This is a revolutionary new product that is going to make a big impact on parenting,” says Dotan. “It will enable people to provide better health care to their children in a way that is easy and non-intrusive.”
