What is Check-my-Temp?

Imagine ... just imagine

• A thermometer that continuously monitors fever so you and your loved ones can rest easy
• A thermometer that sends real time alerts and updates so you can monitor from anywhere, anytime
• A thermometer that tells you if your loved one is awake or has fallen so you can quickly attend to them
• A thermometer that lets you record symptoms and medication to create a complete medical profile 
• A thermometer that records fever history for your doctor
• A thermometer that will allow you to connect with other users so you can build a healthier community

Check-my-Temp, a wearable thermometer, does just that and a bit more. With our passion, your support and a shared vision for a healthier world, let's redefine thermometers for ever.

Check-my-Temp for Kids

In the case of children, parents can rest easy as Check-my-Temp monitors the child's body temperature and position, and sends real time alerts to your smartphone or tablet. 

Check-my-Temp for Elderly (and Adults)

In the case of elderly, caregivers can relax while Check-my-Temp monitors the body temperature and position including fall detection, and sends real time alerts to your smartphone or tablet. 

Question and Answers:

Here is a list of questions (and responses) we compiled based on the feedback from our early supporters and reviewers. Please let us know if you have any additional questions or comments. 

1. What do you want to use the funds for?
We have shortlisted two manufacturing vendors that meet FDA quality standards. These manufacturing vendors are based in the US with offshore manufacturing and test facilities. We have received quotes from them and the molds to create the Check-my-Temp casing cost just over $30,000.

The primary purpose of the campaign is to raise funds to pay for these molds. We believe if this campaign is successful, we can negotiate further with them as we ramp up. 

We do have enough funds to meet the rest of the manufacturing costs including component costs.

2. Do you have any stretch goals?
We do have two very specific stretch goals. 

If we raise $100k or more, we will be able to offer Check-my-Temp in multiple colors and designs. 

If we raise $250k or more, we will be able to launch a second product variant to address another underserved healthcare need. 

3. Do you anticipate any major issues with FDA approval?
No. Back in 2014, the FDA removed for clinical digital thermometers, which include smartphone-enabled, peel-and-stick temperature-sensing patches and the smartphone-connected thermometers*. 

We simply need to meet the necessary quality requirements and register the product with FDA before we start shipping Check-my-Temp to you.

4. Why do you need clinical trials for a thermometer?

Technically and legally speaking, we don't. We are working on advanced algorithms to accurately measure the temperature even in the presence of motion based on our patent-pending MultiTemp technology.

We want to clinically validate the algorithm so we can sleep peacefully at night knowing that we have delivered simply the best thermometer to our customers. 

We began the clinical trials back in August 2015 and expect to wrap them up by Jan 2016.

5. Why do you still need 7 months to deliver the product?
We are obsessed about the user experience with Check-my-Temp, which is why we went through a complete redesign of the product (we are big fans of Steve Jobs). We are working on a few final hardware and software changes to ensure we provide only the best user experience.

On the hardware, we are trying to further reduce the overall size and weight so you can simply wear and forget about it after the first few minutes. We think 'Wear & Forget' is the key to success for any smart wearable device. 

On the software, our current version of the app is fully functional but we are trying to fine tune it to get it just right. 

We may need another 2-3 months to complete these activities before we move to mass production.

6. Are there any other known risks?
None at this time. With design and testing, we are quite encouraged with the preliminary results from the field trials. We plan to wrap up rest of the design & test activities in the next 2-3 months. 

With regards to manufacturing Check-my-Temp, we do have experience with manufacturing precision electronic products. We have also added an industrial designer with medical product and FDA compliance expertise to help us navigate rapidly through the process. 

We are confident in delivering Check-my-Temp with the highest quality to you soon.

As with any project, there may be a few glitches that may cause delays. We will provide you with regular updates on the overall progress and any unforeseen issues. You can count on that!

7. What smart devices will Check-my-Temp support?
Check-my-Temp will support both IOS and Android devices. We will publish a list of all models on our website (www.checkmytemp.com) in the coming months. 

8. In Remote Monitoring mode, how does the device send the data to the cloud?
Check-my-Temp sends the data in real time to a primary device (tablet or smartphone) via Bluetooth Low Energy radio. The primary device can in turn send the data wirelessly to the cloud. Once other devices are authorized to receive updates and alerts, you can start monitoring your loved ones remotely from your office or elsewhere.  

9. How far can Check-my-Temp be able to communicate with a smart device in a typical house?
The device can communicate via BLE to a smart device located up to 100ft/30m in the line of sight. Line of Sight refers to no walls or objects between Check-my-Temp and the smart device. 

However, a typical house with walls and other objects will have an impact on the overall range. The actual distance may be shorter than 100ft (around 60-90 ft). 

If you are experiencing issues with BLE range, simply have a smart device (phone or tablet) in the same room as the patient and switch to the Remote Monitoring mode.

10. What if I don't like the product?
We are very confident that our customers will love the product so we decided to offer a 100% money back guarantee. 

If for some reason you don't like your Check-my-Temp, simply send it back to us and we will refund the full amount.

11. How can I help?
Wow, you did made it this far! Thank you for taking time to review our campaign. If you like the product, please contribute to our campaign to help us reach our campaign funding goal. More importantly, please spread the word around to help us exceed our campaign funding goal.
