Problem addressed

A convenient, reliable and user-friendly way of continuous monitoring of body temperature is in need under pandemic. NAMI’s IoT temperature patch is timesaving and reliable for use, being low-cost that makes it possible for one-time disposable use.

Innovation
  • NAMI’s IoT temperature patch is formed by integrating a flexible ultra-thin battery, flexible PCB, high accuracy temperature sensor, and MCU and BLE wireless communication chipsets. 
  • By simply placing it in the underarm, 14-day continuous real-time body temperature readings and changes can be monitored and stored in mobile app. 
  • Notification will be issued when the alert temperature has been reached, needless to operate manual measurement repeatedly.
Key impact
  • Flexible and comfortable to use day and night
  • Simple and easy to use, continuously monitoring body temperature
  • Safe, environmental-friendly and easy to read when compared to conventional mercury thermometer
  • Meets accuracy requirement of ASTM E1112 and ISO 80601-2-56
Application
  • Family use for monitoring body temperature of babies and kids
  • Hospital ward or quarantine use for monitoring body temperature
  • Big data use for IoT
