Smart-tech-enabled preventive healthcare platform GOQii announces GOQii Vital 3, the world’s first wrist band with sensors to detect body temperature – an early symptom of COVID-19 infection. According to GOQii, this tracker will help users, as well as patients, check their temperature without any human contact, especially contact with nurses and doctors thus reducing exposure to others.
One of the key highlights of Vital 3 is the inbuilt temperature display and thermal sensor that records body temperature in two ways. The continuous monitoring feature which records body temperature continuously at regular intervals and the on-demand feature that allows users to check the body temperature at their convenience. The temperature range is 77°F to 113 °F with an accuracy of +/- 0.3 °F.
Additionally, the device also equipped with a blood pressure monitor sensor that reads systolic and diastolic blood pressure. There is also a 24×7 heart rate monitor powered by AI-driven algorithms for high-precision readings and Infrared technology for continuous, nondisruptive heart rate monitoring at night.
