Taking ones temperature with a thermometer requires users to interpret the reading and know whether or not it's cause for concern, which is something this conceptual thermometer is designed to eliminate the need for. The thermometer highlights a clever user interface that will display the person's temperature reading alongside a character that is either happy or sad, depending on the results. This will allow users to know at a single glance if the person is healthy or in the fever range to have them seek out medical attention or monitor from home.
The conceptual thermometer is the design work of Mads Hindhede Svanegaard and features detachable silicone cap on the unit that can be swapped out between users or easily sanitized.
