TempTraq

Of course the idea is genius but this device is STILL reading 93.5 when a $10 forehead strip is getting me closer to my 6 month old’s actual fever, which is 100.6. What a waste of money and stressful to find out that it doesn’t work, when my baby is actually sick!

So I’ve just realized that the TempTraq Patient app has the most obvious feature that’s missing from this version of the app - a unit scale on the y-axis. With this version you have the threshold line at 100.4 and that it. If you want to know what any of the other temperatures are you have to go to the tabulated history view. Also when you open the app after a while it doesn’t give any clear indication that it’s refreshing data from the patch, or whether what’s being displayed is the most current. Maybe the pulsing Bluetooth icon is supposed to indicate that, but it’s not clear nor obvious.

I tried this patch and after six hours and the third time it alerted me my temperature had drastically dropped to 93 degrees, I gave up. It wasn’t consistent, nor did it ever come close to what my ear thermometer read. My fiancé could give me a better reading sticking his hand in my armpit than this patch did. Definitely would not recommend it to anyone.

My daughter had a fever and it did not pick up on it

It doesn’t locate the patch. This is a waste of money.

I have a sick kiddo who already isn’t thrilled about this whole deal, and now the app won’t even allow me to enter the patch # to start it up. What the heck? Waste of money

I read a lot a reviews on this as we were putting this on my daughter. I thought, oh great a useless product why did we bother getting it. But it worked and did what it was supposed to do. People keep saying that their app says no reading etc. Guess what mind did too in the middle of the night. It’s Bluetooth based. Bluetooth has a certain distance where it is effective. It’s not internet based where it would work anywhere. It’s like leaving your car while it’s still running in a parking lot and going into a store. Would you expect your phone calls to come into your car speakers there? I woke up in the middle of the night. Took my phone with me to my daughter’s bedroom door with the app opened and waiting for a Bluetooth connection. And guess what?!??? It worked. So before you buy something or review something, know what you’re getting and its limitations. The product works. If I were to change anything I would say make the patches cheaper and make everyone buy a one time hub that connects to the WiFi for monitoring. That way people can monitor anywhere in the house.

My son has febrile seizures and I thought this would be a great way to track when he’s sick. Never made it above 96 degrees. Don’t waste your money.

The app itself seemed to not have any issues but the temperature is not accurate. I checked my baby’s temperature with a thermometer to compare and it seemed the TempTraq always displayed about 2 degrees lower than an actually thermometer. I thought- okay, I’ll just modify the temperature to go off lower than a fever to make up the difference. Nope. You cannot have it notify you of a temperature less than 100.4. Even being inaccurate, I would have been happy using it and just adjusting the temperature to set the alarm off but you can’t even change that so it wasn’t much help since 2 degrees is pretty significant for a baby.

I read reviews before used was nervous, followed directions and bamm it’s amazing. I really love the temptraq connect, I’m home and wife can get info at work and she home I can some relief by getting the info when at work. I ordered more patches love it would give more stars if could.
