The Kinsa Smart Thermometer is connected to the mobile phone via the headphone jack. The temperature is measured classic over the mouth. The collected data are sent to a central collecting point. The data are analyzed anonymously. From this data maps are created, which are to show where fever events occur.
Through the app of Kinsa, the user should be able to follow his or her medical history and send it to a doctor. In addition, the current health situation is displayed in the local environment. These are rampant diseases and symptoms. In addition, the app provides tips on how to protect yourself.

The application also allows you to create your own groups. For example, parents of a school class can unite and thus track the course of the disease within the class or school. The app does not show who is ill, but only the one disease is in circulation. Parents can therefore take precaution so that their child does not fall ill.
The Kinsa Smart Thermometer draws its current directly from the mobile phone. The measured temperature is not displayed on a separate LCD screen, but on the display of the smartphone. The smart thermometer is expected to be launched in the course of the year and will be available for $ 99.
Still, Kinsa is trying to gain the start-up capital for the market through the Crowdfunding platform Indiegogo. Of the targeted $ 50,000, more than $ 30,000 has already been reached. The collection will run until 15 June 2013.
