Purpose: This study explored the validity of a new type of thermometer and parent satisfaction with the new device. This 24-hour continuous monitoring smart wearable wireless thermometer (TempTraq¢ç) uses a very small semiconductor sensor with a thin patch-like shape.
Methods: We obtained 397 sets of TempTraq¢ç axillary temperatures and tympanic temperatures from 44 pediatric patients. Agreement between the axillary and tympanic measurements, as well as the validity of the TempTraq¢ç axillary temperatures, were evaluated. Satisfaction surveys were completed by 41 caregivers after the measurements.
Results: The TempTraq¢ç axillary temperatures demonstrated a strong positive correlation with the tympanic temperatures. The Bland-Altman plot and analysis of TempTraq¢ç axillary temperatures and tympanic temperatures showed that the mean difference was +0.45 ¡É, the 95% limits of agreement were ?0.57 to +1.46 ¡É. Based on a tympanic temperature of 38 ¡É, the results of validity of fever detection were sensitivity 0.85 and specificity 0.86. Satisfaction scores for TempTraq¢ç temperature measurement were all > 4 points (satisfactory).
Conclusion: TempTraq¢ç smart axillary temperature measurement is an appropriate method for measuring children's temperatures since it was highly correlated to tympanic temperatures, had a reliable level of sensitivity and specificity, and could be used safely and conveniently.
