At CES, the annual Technology Show, held in Las Vegas from January 6-9, 2015, you can find tech gems in connected health. After connected bracelets intended for correct bad habits or to protect yourself from the sun, technological gadgets are becoming more and more integrated into everyday life. Illustration with the connected pacifier which should reassure concerned parents. The pitch: a sensor is integrated in the silicone pacifier in order to assess the baby’s temperature in real time.
The recorded data is then sent by bluetooth to a specific smartphone application, which parents will have taken care to download to their cell phone. Like the curves that follow the evolution of their child’s weight in their health record, parents can follow at leisure the possible variations in the body heat of their offspring, which will be gathered in a digital graphic table.
The Pacif-i, the name given to this pacifier-thermometer, and designed by the British firm Blue Maestro, has obtained a European patent and a medical classification at the rank of IIa. This classification, which makes it possible to assign a level of risk to each medical device, includes in particular diagnostic instruments, devices intended to conduct or store blood, fluids or tissues, or invasive surgical devices (contact lenses, skin staples, etc.).
Parents can already pre-order the smart pacifier for 30 euros on the manufacturer’s website bluemastro.com.
This high-tech pacifier is one of the innovations that increasingly attract the French. Nine out of ten respondents admit to being connected health enthusiasts (Opinionway study for the Post).
