Ditch the mercury thermometer - body temperature monitoring into the smart age.



 

Body temperature is one of the important vital signs, the monitoring of body temperature can help to judge the condition, make a clear diagnosis and analyze the efficacy of treatment, the measurement and observation of body temperature is one of the important contents of clinical care work; accurate and continuous body temperature monitoring can help to understand the temperature changes of patients at the first time, provide the basis for rapid judgment of the condition, timely diagnosis and treatment.

 

 

Continuous temperature monitoring can record the time point of fever, the trend of temperature rise, whether there is any fear of cold or chills when the temperature rises, the general temperature at the time of fever, the maximum temperature, the time of the peak temperature, the duration of fever, the mode of fever reduction, the effect of antipyretic drugs, the effect of hormone use, the effect of fever reduction, the duration of fever reduction, etc. In addition to the disease investigation, basic examination and targeted examination can be given to confirm the cause of some diseases.

For perioperative patients, continuous temperature monitoring can detect abnormal changes in body temperature in time and buy time for patients to receive timely treatment and care; critically ill patients often have high or low body temperature due to infection, surgery, trauma, different degrees of central dysfunction of temperature regulation and circulatory, endocrine and water electrolyte imbalance, continuous temperature monitoring can help to understand the patient's body temperature changes at the first time, thus providing a basis for rapid diagnosis and treatment; the most prominent symptom of patients with various infectious diseases is fever.

 


Most hospitals in China still use mercury thermometers to measure patients' axillary temperature on a regular basis as the main method of monitoring patients' body temperature, which can only be measured instantaneously and cannot be monitored continuously, and the problem of mercury contamination will gradually make it obsolete. Current methods of continuous patient temperature monitoring have some limitations, and those with high accuracy are mostly invasive or invasive. THOTO wearable continuous temperature monitor is a non-invasive, real-time continuous temperature monitoring product that can be used for up to 96 hours, and can reflect the temperature data and changes in the PC-based monitoring software, and automatically generate continuous temperature monitoring reports and temperature trends to improve the efficiency of medical staff. The high precision sensor senses accurately, the temperature measurement error can be accurate to ±0.1℃, and the temperature of the axilla and rectum are consistent. The product adopts disposable design, easy to operate, tear-as-you-use, throw-as-you-go to avoid the risk of cross-infection to the maximum extent.

The thin, soft, bio-grade adhesive material adheres perfectly to human skin without discomfort or foreign body sensation, and without interfering with patient movement and other treatment options. Therefore, wearable continuous temperature monitor can be widely used in outpatient, emergency department, ICU, fever clinic, operating room and other departments for wireless continuous temperature monitoring in the hospital, which is an accurate, efficient, stable, convenient and safe new type of temperature measurement means.
