Kinsa, the first Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared, app-enabled thermometer hooks up to an app via your smartphone’s headphone jack and gives temperature readings in seconds. The app then tracks fever readings, symptoms and medication doses for each family member. It also offers guidance on what you should do next, whether it’s calling a doctor or taking medication.
Kinsa makes both an under-the-tongue and in-ear thermometer which range in price from $19.99 to $59.99.
