To treat cases of sepsis earlier, artificial intelligence (AI)-based methods to predict sepsis in hospital patients have become popular. Continuous temperature monitoring can provide accurate and abundant patient data to help these algorithms track potential sepsis cases successfully.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has the potential to transform many systems, including our healthcare. Remote patient monitoring devices like TempTraq are the latest technologies helping IoT change the world.

Further challenged by the ongoing nursing shortage, sepsis poses a significant burden on the healthcare system. Continuous temperature monitoring technology can relieve understaffed hospitals and support the early diagnosis of sepsis and other life-threatening conditions.

Continuous temperature monitoring technology can remove the human element from temperature taking to reduce error and improve patient safety. Depending on manual temperature taking leaves room for inaccurate readings or delayed fever detection due to inconsistent methods or other errors. Instead, continuous temperature monitoring can minimize manual errors, increase...

In pediatric patients, continuous temperature monitoring can simplify patient care while offering reliable fever detection. This study compared temperature measurements taken with TempTraq to traditional tympanic measurements in 41 pediatric patients. TempTraq measurements were highly correlated to tympanic measurements, and fever detection was consistently sensitive and specific. Additionally, caregivers...

While the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the value of technology in the healthcare industry, the applications of many of these technologies span far beyond the pandemic. Remote, continuous temperature monitoring, for example, continues to gain momentum as a tool to identify fevers earlier than the standard of care in...

Blue Spark Technologies is one of nine organizations joining Medidata’s expanded Sensor Cloud Network, which aims to overcome barriers limiting the full adoption of medical sensors––including data integration and standardization. This, in turn, could fuel the development of new digital biomarkers and more advanced algorithms to process healthcare data...

We present a case series of three febrile episodes in neutropenic pediatric cancer patients who wore a Food and Drug Administration approved high-frequency temperature monitoring (HFTM) wearable device (WD) at home. The WD detected fever events when temperature monitoring by thermometer did not detect fever or was not feasible...
