BOSTON, April 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Is your child sick? Do you need to check his or her temperature every few hours? Do you wake up in the middle of the night to check if the temperature is rising? Are you worried about waking up so many times? How well you can rest?
The iTherm team has found the solution to these problems: iTherm is a bracelet that measures the human temperature via a smartphone. Now you can set alarms to alert you when the temperature has reached a limit.

Marcos Oliva, entrepreneur and founder of the project, had the idea when his first child was born. When his son had his first cold and fever the pediatrician told him and his wife: "Watch out that the temperature does not get too high by giving him antipyretics every 8 hours for 2 days. If there is no improvement bring him back." That night they organized shifts every 2 hours to monitor the fever and the next day the whole family was very tired. With the birth of his second child the sleepless nights increased. There had to be a solution for these problems:
– Waking up again and again when most of the time there is no need
– Awakening the child when what he/she needs is to rest and recover
– Sleeping concerned about the possibility that the fever rises
Using Bluetooth 4.0 Marcos attached a temperature sensor to a bracelet, so that by placing it in the child's arm the temperature could be monitored without waking the child. This system also allows to set alarms to wake parents if the temperature rises but the whole family can rest if it does not.
iTherm also includes a reminder system for medication administration and it records all data to help the pediatrician in the diagnosis and treatment.
iTherm has chosen the crowdfunding formula to obtain the necessary financing ($29,000) to develop the product. We are coming to indiegogo.com in the coming days!
