This wireless thermometer pings your phone when your food’s ready

Imagine being able to say things like “Hey, I’ll be back, my Beef Sirloin is calling me on my phone”. As weird as that sentence sounds, just imagine if your food could send you an alert on your phone when it’s ready. That’s the culinary dream the ECPIN is chasing. With the promise to provide you with perfectly grilled/seared/barbecued food every single time, the wireless thermometer lets you set a desired temperature on your smartphone, and will give you an alert when your food reaches the preset temperatures. Rather than leaving you to guess where your food is in the cooking process, ECPIN lets you check your food’s internal temperature in realtime, giving you the ability to know exactly when to take it off the heat, giving you perfectly prepared meals every time.

Designed to be wireless and smart, the ECPIN works for 4 hours on a full battery, and can charge in under 2 minutes using its specialized wireless charging case. It pairs with a smartphone via Bluetooth, sending meat-status information in realtime, while also timing your cook. The app lets you use multiple ECPINs simultaneously based on the culinary preferences of multiple people, and will systematically ping you to tell you which meal is cooked to perfection and ready to serve. When you’ve impressed everyone with your masterchef skills, the ECPIN can easily be washed under a running faucet or placed in the dishwasher.

A baby thermometer with fun sounds for those high-temperature days!

As a mother of two children in their twenties, I know how harrowing unwell kids can be! Even at this age they kick-up so much fuss, so imagine what toddlers can do. The worst is taking temperature, especially if you need to monitor it every few hours. Although ear thermometers are a boon in comparison to the mercury ones, keeping kids still during the intrusion, can be tricky. To overcome this challenge, what the Ear Fun thermometer does is that it integrates funny sounds and jungle noises into the device.

It’s like telling the kids that if they put their ear to the device, they can hear some cool sounds. Thus piquing their interest and making them a willing party to thermometer readings. On the tech-side, this IoT device stores the last 10 readings and can be linked to your smartphone. You can record as many sounds you’d like and enthrall the kids! Ergonomic design and intuitive interface are just the cherry icing!

2017’s Top Medical Designs & the Future of Healthcare

best_medical_designs_of_2017_layout

We’ve been very vocal about how much respect we have for designers who take up challenges in the medical domain. There’s always a lot at stake and with such a small margin for error, Design for Medicine or Design for Special Needs may just be one of the most challenging (and if done right, rewarding) design disciplines out there. Fast.Co lists Inclusive Design as a trend that will shape 2018, and our favorite posts from 2017 have only been a testament to the rise of that trend.

Whether it’s technological advancements to make better and more accessible medical products, or just redesigning medical and special-need products look more fashionable and inclusive, our top Medical Design posts for the year 2017 are pretty indicative of how big health care in 2018 is going to be!

The Hue inhaler is completely 3D printed (note the transition from mottled color to transparent) and comes with a dazzling set of color combinations that are bound to break the monotony of medical product design.

The Tiny Thumb-sized Thermometer!

dolphin_thermometer_01

Thermometers have taken a giant leap in design with the popularity of Withings Thermo last year. Ever since then, thermometers have come leaps and bounds in their abilities, aesthetics and especially sizes – however none of them have been as compact as the DolPhin Smart Mini Infrared Thermometer. This smart thermometer is the embodiment of portability and compact design being just 5cm long and weighing a total of only 13g.

The thermometer simply plugs into one’s smartphone audio jack (sorry everyone who owns the new wave of jack-less smartphones). Thankfully, due to the noninvasive, non-contact nature of this thermometer, it can be used again and again while staying safe and sanitized. With the thermometer comes a helpful app to read and store the temperatures being taken. Not only this, the accompany app has useful searching capabilities for nearby facilities such as; neighboring hospital, internal treatment, university hospital, otolaryngology, health center, pharmacy or the emergency room. This little guy is perfect for a vast range of applications and taking up only 5cm in your pocket; it’s safe to say it’s an easy decision bringing this with you in your travel/medical kit everywhere and anywhere because you never know when you just might need it.

This Meter Will Tell You When Your Indoor Climate Is Perfect

Are you always feeling too hot, too cold, or just not comfortable in your home or office? What if I told you there was a gadget designed to help you find just the perfect indoor climate? That’s exactly what the Lufft Comfort Meter is for.

 

This nifty looking meter combines a thermometer with a hygrometer to display the current temperature and humidity levels inside. The neat part is that there’s a sort of butter zone where the gauges intersect where the climate is the most comfortable to most humans. Assuming you have a decent thermostat, an HVAC system, and and either a humidifier or dehumidifier, you should be able to fine-tune your environment to get the needles to meet in the right spot.

I really like the design of this chrome-trimmed analog comfort meter, but at $149 (USD) it’s quite pricey. If you just want the data, and don’t care about the looks so much, there’s a much cheaper electronic comfort meter available over on Amazon for just about 10 bucks.

The Touch-less Thermometer

Gone are the days of sticking an awkward, pointy thermometer under your tongue for 60 seconds! Introducing, Thermo – the Smart Temporal Thermometer! In just 2 seconds, its 16 infrared sensors take over 4000 measurements to determine temperature from the temporal artery (considered the most accurate place to take temperature). You don’t even have to make contact with the skin, making it the most sanitary and least scary method for kids available! Measurements sync automatically with your smartphone. Based on age, fever history, and symptoms, the Thermo app gives immediate results and advanced health advice depending on stats.
