STEMP Announces Launch of Smart Temperature Patch, Winner of 2015 Everyday Health Award

LOS ANGELES - March 11, 2015 - PRLog -- STEMP Inc. announced today the launch of the crowdfunding campaign for the STEMP Smart Temperature Patch™, an innovative hardware/software product that provides immediate, continuous, and accurate body temperature measurement and monitoring for children, seniors, and families of all ages.

STEMP is available for pre-order today via a crowdfunding campaign (getstemp.com) and is expected to ship in late summer 2015. The STEMP iOS app is already available for download (getstemp.com/app).

STEMP was designed to solve issues related to thermometers currently on the market, especially those designed for small children and their parents, who comprise a large share of first-time thermometer consumers:

Reliable temperature measurement: Provides accurate readings the first time and every time, so users never need to worry or re-measure

Convenient form factor: Small size and comfortable, medical-grade adhesives make it easy to wear (including in the shower)

Continuous monitoring: Collect data, see trends, and make smarter decisions, over hours, days, or even weeks (one charge lasts up to 30 days)

Intelligent mobile app: Smart alerts, data tracking and analysis, battery status, and an elegant, customizable interface (available now for iOS, with Android to follow)

“Wear it and forget it”: Never again must one get up in the middle of the night to wake up a child or loved one to take their temperature

Affordable price: Cutting-edge home healthcare shouldn’t be expensive; STEMP is a high-value product competitive with everything on the market

“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. This is the thermometer reinvented for the 21st century.”

Using STEMP is as easy as 1-2-3:

1. Insert the rechargeable STEMP temperature sensor into a disposable STEMP adhesive patch

2. Apply STEMP to the body

3. Get immediate temperature data on iPhone, iPad, or Watch (Android in development)

STEMP can be used to monitor body temperature for a variety of applications:

Small children and their parents

Elderly and their caregivers

Couples trying to conceive

Post-operative care

Chronic conditions

Sports performance

Everyday health

“As a longtime neonatologist, I get great peace of mind having continuous data and information at my fingertips to help me make decisions about the babies in my care. I love that STEMP will provide parents (and their children’s doctors) the same benefits, in a very child-friendly and user-friendly way,” noted Neonatologist Sue Hall, MD, of St. John’s Regional Medical Center, Oxnard, California.

“I’ve worked in and around wearable technologies since 2005,” indicated STEMP Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer David J. Whelan. “STEMP is one of those simple, obvious, and practical tools that makes you wonder how you ever lived without it.”

STEMP will be demonstrating the Smart Temperature Patch at the SX Health & MedTech Expo (16-17 March, Austin), where the company is also competing as part of the SXSW Interactive Accelerator (14-15 March). STEMP won the 2015 Everyday Health Award for Innovation in Personal Health at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The company also won the 2014 G-Startup Competition at the Silicon Valley Global Mobile Internet Conference in San Francisco.
