Wishbone Allows Taking Body Temperature Without Physical Contact

New gadget that changes the whole process of taking you baby’s temperature. Wishbone allows taking body temperature without physical contact.

Technology and new gadgets are something that will always ease our lives, especially when it comes to situations involving our children. Trying to put a thermometer in the mouth of an upset baby can be quite a task and sometimes requires a lot of patience and cool.

A new gadget called Joying Wishbone will spare you from all that work, as it only has to be pointed at the kid to manage to read his/hers temperature.

The Wishbone thermometer, most probably named after its Y shape, can be attached to any Android of iOS smartphone and reports the temperature back to its companion apps. The creator of Joying Project, Harry Hu, said that he was very aware of the difficulties encountered when trying to take a baby’s temperature, which can turn into a real challenge. He is a parent and owns a store that sells products for babies.

Users only have to hold the smartphone attachment close to the child, for two seconds in order to receive the temperature reading. They can also take the temperatures of the bottles of their babes, the outside weather or themselves.
Even tough in ear thermometers are faster, Wishbone is less demanding as it doesn’t require physical contact and it wont disturb your baby while sleeping, or get contaminated. Its very accurate, and much smaller than any other thermometer.

The features of Wishbone, allow users to create a history, giving them a more detailed insight into the child’s health or even themselves. For example, women can be notified on ovulation periods, by searching for a small, clear spike in women body temperature.
At the moment, Wishbone is on Kickstarter and has a week left in its campaign. With over $140,000, to a campaign that initially needed $20,000, Wishbone should be closing its final goals and is on the road to hit production lines. Joying is about to finish prototypes.
The first economical goals, $30,000 and $40,000 gave the chance for new colours for Wishbone, but the $10,000 and $20,000 brought the chances to add extra features to it. The final variant of Wishbone could include, an ambient mode, an object mode, iOS health kit, sharing features and also pets mode.

Wishbone is set to enter production in March.

When I was younger I used to spend almost all of my free time playing computer games. My mom and dad would go mental over this. “You’re never going to do anything with your life if you are going to play games all day” they used to say. What was even more unusual was the fact that I played more games than most of the guys in my friend group. Looking back, I have to admit that I probably played a bit too much, but I also learned a lot of great things. When I turned 20 I decided that it was high-time to make some money of my own, but the only jobs I could get were that of waitress or cashier. How exciting. After several excruciating months of serving tables I had a great idea: since I love gaming so much, why don’t I write about it? That’s when I started doing small writing projects on Elance. Eventually, I got an offer for a part-time job. During that time I learned all about content marketing strategies and how search engines work. I started writing about various topics such as technology, health and lifestyle and discovered that I was actually good at it. On November 24, 2014, I became part of the ArgyllFreePress team.
