STEMP is available for pre-order via a crowdfunding campaign and is expected to ship in later this year. The accompanying mobile app, iOS only at the moment, is already available for download.

“As a parent, I was frustrated by the thermometers on the market, which were either inexpensive and inaccurate – or expensive and complicated. We knew there had to be a better way, and we set out to build the thermometer for the rest of us,” stated Zsolt Krajcsik, STEMP Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer. “We have combined cutting edge, best-in-class technologies with custom firmware and an elegant smartphone app to create a product that parents and healthcare professionals will love.”
STEMP won the 2015 Everyday Health Award for Innovation in Personal Health at CES in Las Vegas. It’s currently raising funds at Indiegogo, where a single unit could be had for $35. Shipping is slated for September of this year.
