***** FOR CLINICAL USE ONLY ***** TempTraq® is a Bluetooth® continuous temperature monitor in the form of a one-time use, disposable patch. The patch senses, records and transmits body temperature via Bluetooth® Version 4.0. Temperature information from the patch is monitored using an iOS device (with Bluetooth® Version 4.0 capability running the TempTraq Patient app). TempTraq measures under-the-arm axillary temperature and this is converted to an oral temperature which is displayed in the TempTraq Patient app and transmitted to the TempTraq Connect cloud service for viewing by clinicians. The TempTraq Connect clinical system enables remote continuous monitoring of patient temperature by clinicians. The system consists of the TempTraq patch worn by the patient, a patient smart device running the TempTraq Patient app which collects and sends temperature data to the TempTraq Connect cloud service, and the TempTraq Clinician Web Application. The TempTraq Patient application provides the patient monitoring functionality, receiving temperature data broadcast from the TempTraq patch and transmitting the data to the TempTraq Connect cloud service enabling the data to be monitored by clinicians.
