Smart thermometer that entertains kids

    A new smartphone-connected thermometer will make checking a child's temperature less stressful while also keeping track of health trends both in the family and around town.
    The thermometer will be used like a conventional thermometer. It will connect to a smartphone through the headphone jack and make use of the phone's processing power to record and display temperature, which will streamline the thermometer design. The app will display entertaining animations on the smartphone screen, which will help keep the child relaxed, and allow users to create individual profiles in order to track the course of their fevers and share the information with their doctor.
