TECHNOLOGY THAT’S SICK!

Swaive Corporation made the world’s first smartphone-enabled ear thermometer. Sickweather developed the world’s first real-time map of illness.

Now, the two companies have partnered to allow Swaive thermometer users to anonymously volunteer their fever data to the Sickweather community for tracking colds, flu, strep throat, and more.

“Our customers will also see which illnesses are trending in their area while they are using our thermometer,” said Gurpal Bhoot, CEO of Swaive. “It adds a whole new dimension to understanding which illness they may have before taking the next steps in seeking appropriate medical care.”

The Swaive thermometer works with both iOS and Android and is available in the Apple Store and on Amazon.
