Technology is definitely advancing
as rapidly as possible. This benefits everyone, but the largest impact definitely affects the medical industry
and all of its departments. Simple appliances and medical machinery can
influence an ailing life immensely. It is dire for doctors to have the best
machinery accessible, since the lives of their patients depend on them. Many
hospitals have advanced technology but it is also important for the public to
have the same easy access. The Exergen Crop. has put responsibility into their
own hands to make the lives of parents simple and stress free. Parents are now
able to effortlessly measure their child’s fever and temperature. Their new
invention is known by the name: “the Smart Glow.” This thermometer presents the
child’s temperature on a bright glowing screen. Therefore, it is no longer
difficult to view the number in the dark. The child does not even have to be
awake or aware of the thermometer, at all. In order for it to properly operate,
a person must swipe the “TemporalScanner Thermometer across the forehead and
the temperature appears in a small, lighted space on the handle.” The
thermometer is swiped across the forehead because the temporal artery is
located on it. It is the best and most accurate place for a child’s body temperature
to be measured. This thermometer took a minor step in revolutionizing medical
machinery by making it easily available for parents everywhere.
