Mobile Applications to Connect the InstaTemp to Smartphones
Arc Devices, a member of our I/UCRC CAKE, has developed InstaTemp, which is no-touch thermometer that uses infrared technology to measure body temperature quickly and precisely. InstaTemp and its clinical version, InstaTemp MD, which is more precise, were recently approved by the FDA. Once the device is placed roughly an inch from a patient’s forehead, it displays a temperature in 2.5 seconds—coded red, yellow or green, depending on the reading.
TIME magazine included InstaTemp in the 25 Best Inventions of 2016
We developed an integrated framework of various tools and technologies for enabling standalone medical devices such as thermometers to communicate with legacy Health IT systems, via a healthcare mobile application. Thus, it gives a contemporary side to a legacy-based Health IT system.
The project involved development of a mobile app (on both Android and iOS platforms) which connects to a Bluetooth-enabled InstaTemp thermometer to smartphones.

The objectives achieved by the above-mentioned framework are as follows:
- Enable standalone medical devices to interface with mobile apps using wireless technology
- Store patient’s vitals recorded by medical devices to the patient’s EHR (Electronic Health Record) in existing Health IT systems
- Ensure interoperability through exchange of information using latest standards
