Fever Scout: the wearable thermometer for kids that's like a digital Mary Poppins

A Silicon Valley company has invented a smart thermometer that continuously streams your child's temperature to your smartphone - and it's just the latest step in the billion-dollar 'self-care' industry

Worried your child might have a fever? Help is now at hand thanks to a cunning new invention developed by New Deal Design and VivaLnk, a pair of San Francisco companies who devote themselves to developing solutions to problems you never even knew you had.

The Fever Scout is a soft wearable thermometer that continuously monitors the temperature of whatever it is stuck on, then sends the information wirelessly to your smartphone. As a result, you can check your child's temperature in the middle of the night by simply looking at your phone, making childcare as easy as Instagram.
