Fever after surgery is one of the most common complications that patients face. Over 50 percent of all surgery patients will have a higher than normal temperature in the days following their procedure.
Post Operative Fever Monitoring
Post surgery fever is one of the most prevalent complications facing patients, occurring in over half of the time. While some fevers are not serious, others can be a sign of major problems.
Current methods of tracking patient body temperature is time consuming, subject to lapses, and disruptive due to contact between the care provider and the patient.
With increasing demand for medical services along with staffing pressures, hospitals need a more efficient solution to ensure comfort and quality of patient care.
Nursing Home Care
The elderly and chronically ill are especially susceptible to health issues, and the occurrence of a fever can be the first indication of a problem.
Patients may not realize a fever is occurring until it gets to a certain level, and caregivers may not have time to closely monitor every patient all the time.
A wearable continuous fever monitor that automatically tracks body temperature, with notifications, can be an essential early fever detection tool during flu season or with "at-risk" patients.
Whether monitoring post operative patients or a child’s fever, accurate and continuous body temperature monitoring helps ensure proper care is delivered in a timely manner
Child Fever Tracking and Alerts
Every parent has experienced the stress and anxiety due to a child with fever. While childhood fevers are a normal occurrence, awareness of high body temperature is paramount to ensuring the safety and well-being of the child.
Conventional methods require the parent (or caregiver) to remember to take periodic temperature readings, and can be disruptive during sleep hours - for both the child and the parent.
With hectic home and work schedules, today's busy parents require a solution that can automatically monitor and alert when there's a potential problem.
