When a child gets a fever, the pediatrician would usually advise the parents to take the temperature at regular intervals and observe the changes. It can be a tiring task, especially during those early mornings and late nights. You might also accidentally forget to take a reading or two at times. You also need to wake up your child to take his/her temperature, and therefore disrupting his/her recovery. That’s why Johannes Kreuzer, a German Doctor of Engineering (Dr.-Ing.) created Degree°.
Degree° is the new generation medical thermometer can monitor the body temperature of your child continuously; and the world’s first wearable in-ear thermometer. Therefore, you’ll be updated whenever your child’s body temperature is too high or rising too fast–anytime, anywhere.

It can be very useful especially at night, since you don’t have to wake up your child while he/she is sleeping. Just one glance at your smartphone, and you’ll be able to see your child’s current temperature.
