CLEVELAND - TempTraq, which brought to market a wearable intelligent Bluetooth thermometer to continuously monitor body temperature for 24 hours, has been named a "CES 2016 Innovation Awards Honoree" in two categories: Fitness, Sports and Biotech; and Wearable Technologies, the company announced Tuesday.
With this connected wearable, caretakers can receive temperature data every 10 seconds for 24 hours through their iOS or Android device and can be alerted when temperatures hit the user-set "red zone" level. For those looking to share this information with health care professionals, users can easily send temperature data via email.
"We are thrilled to be honored in two highly sought award categories," said John Gannon, CEO of Blue Spark Technologies, maker of TempTraq. "TempTraq fits perfectly into both categories as we're providing a high-tech, wearable device that monitors a person's health through one of our most basic vital signs, temperature."
Powered by Blue Spark Technologies' patented, printed flexible battery, TempTraq represents a new frontier in digital thermometers and works in conjunction with the free TempTraq app.
