About this app

As a busy parent, when your kid isn’t feeling well, you could use a little extra help. Fever Scout is a soft wearable thermometer that continuously measures temperature and wirelessly sends that information to your android devices.

The Fever Scout app requires the Fever Scout patch to function.

Fever Scout App

● Provides users with 2 temperature monitoring views: 12 hour color coded display or trending temperature graph
● Logs medication and symptoms of user
● Displays current and historical temperature trends in hours, days, weeks, or months
● Monitors multiple users from a single account

Fever Scout Patch
The Fever Scout patch is a soft, silicone patch designed to be both fun and comfortable for children. The patch is designed to be worn with the temperature sensor in the armpit and will display the user’s body temperature. Fever Scout can be worn multiple times by using the included medical grade adhesives and can be recharged with the accompanying charger.

The Fever Scout app is compatible with the android devices that have Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy capability, and running on android

Ratings and reviews

First, the app requires registration to be able to save readings which is entirely unnecessary given how little storage a temperature reading requires and the capacity of modern phones. Second, as a sensor app it should be able to continue recording data through a background process rather than requiring the app always be in the foreground on my Galaxy S7. Third, the graph interface is a little hard to navigate as it should snap to the first time point it has data for and ignore screen rotation commands that close it. If the app were updated to address these usability issues, then my rating would be much higher. The app does a good job of reminding you how to use the device.

Glad to see this app still being updated. Would love to see support of the fever scout device as well. I've been out of adhesive strips for a long time with no way to get more.

Worked great on previous phone, but with my new phone, it stops recording temperature whenever I leave the app. When I return to the app, the temperature hasn't updated and nothing was logged. The only way to get the temperature again is to disconnect and reconnect. The whole point in getting the Fever Scout was to monitor my child's fever and act if it started rising, especially overnight. If it can't monitor, it's just a huge waste of money.
