Smart non-contact thermometer Wishbone raising funds at Kickstarter

Smart non-contact thermometer Wishbone

Wishbone is a novel non-contact smart thermometer that works in tandem with a smartphone. A product of the startup called Joywing, the device features a unique Y-shaped design and is able to detect body temperature in under 2 seconds. Plus, it can also measure object and ambient temperature, the feature that could be used by parents who want to know if the milk is too hot or if the weather has turned chillier.

The device’s mobile app — which will be available for both iOS and Android — can store historical data which can be viewed at a later date for analysis and reference. This feature, according to Joywing, can be particularly helpful for parents monitoring their baby’s recovery from illness or for couples that are trying to conceive.

Right now, the “body part” is the main focus of Joywing, which is looking to crowdfund its device at Kickstarter. There, a single unit could be had for just $33. Shipments are set for April of this year. The Object and Ambient modes are expected to be released in July.
