Kinsa is revolutionizing the thermometer by bringing data analysis into the equation. The Kinsa Smart Thermometer connects to your phone to tell you more than just your temperature. By leveraging your phone's processing power, Kinsa gives you a preliminary diagnosis by telling you what might be keeping you down and possible steps to fix it.
The Smart Thermometer also gives you the choice to keep track of your symptom history, call a nurse and schedule an appointment with your doctor. One amazing feature that Kinsa offers is a forecast of just how long you'll be sick.
The Kinsa app that accompanies the thermometer also doubles as a monitor for health in your community. The app tracks the health level of those in your surrounding area and reports if you need to take extra precautions.
