Withings Thermo
Non-contact, Forehead
DO NOT BUY... it reads ok when your childs temperature is normal i.e. 37deg however as the temperature rises the Thermo will always read below the real temperature and obviously as this goes up the more dangerous it becomes. Instead buy a good quality in-ear thermometer (like they use at the doctors).
To answer the comment; at the time I compared to a in-ear thermometer purchased from a pharmacy; as it is non invasive it was easy to take multiple readings.

The device does NOT work without a smartphone! The required app must be given the "Location" authorisation. Otherwise, you cannot connect the thermometer. I consider this to be coercion.
I think the measuring technology is great and it also seems to work very reliably.

Thought the Messemthode would be the hit and absolutely precise. So it is finally in advertising ...
But then had to determine that the Messunge are absolutely inaccurate.
On the one hand compared with a Braun ear thermometer and on the other hand, compared with several measurements in succession, with the same device!
That makes already times 2-3 degrees from!
Such a thing is basically, but especially with children, simply unusable, not to say dangerous.

Too bad you need a second app to take a fever. Would be much better if it was integrated into the health mate app.

Top product!

Frequent bugs (you have to reset the device), the batteries discharge quickly and above all the measurements are not reliable. If you are a hypochondriac, this is paradise, but if you have children, do not buy this product!
First of all, about the app: I was also annoyed that this device cannot be used without the app. But afterwards, you can simply delete the app... It works without any problems.
The temperature is measured very simply via the forehead and is the most accurate we have ever had. No inner ear or forehead thermometer we have had before has been anywhere near as accurate and has always shown the same result when taking several measurements in a row.

I had used various ear thermometers, also from established brands. However, the accuracy of the measurements left a lot to be desired; the readings given were more estimates than precise. Among other things, ear left and then ear right, or the same ear twice and a different value each time. The difference was up to 0.8 ° (for example, once 37.1 and the second time 37.9).
That's when I got interested in the Withings Thermo and decided to buy it. And since then, the readings have been stable. There is a maximum of 0.2 ° difference between measurement A and measurement B. Most of the time, however, both readings are the same.
I find the transfer to the iPhone well solved. It is also easy to save measurements for several people.
I find the fact that you can take measurements without contact very convenient for self-measurements or measurements by others.

A terrible app to use! I was able to add my children to the app (with difficulty) but my husband had to set up a separate account (because of medical confidentiality.....). They ask us for information that we don't necessarily want to give (age, weight, location, etc.) and it's impossible to refuse, otherwise it doesn't work. The promise was good, but I was very disappointed with the result.

A smartphone and free Withings app are required for this clinical thermometer.
Very suitable for small children, the elderly and anyone else who doesn't have the patience for a 10-minute measurement.

Good and easy to use, but very inaccurate! I recommend a thermometer for the ears, such as the one from Braun, especially for small children!
