RE: Accessible thermometer

[Sieghard Weitzel]

It's everybody's choice, when I bought it years ago I think it was $89 here in 
Canada, but it seems to be one of those devices which just work, even if it's 
been sitting in my drawer for a year and I haven't touched it, I take it out, 
push the button and a short while later I have my reading on the iPhone. Maybe 
there are now cheaper options which work just as well and reliably, at the time 
there were not so many, I think there was a Kinza at the time which was maybe 
$20 less, but the Apple Store where I went didn't have it so I bought the 
Thermo and I don't regret it. One thing to keep in mind if anybody is in the 
market for something like that is that Black Friday is coming up and while I 
don't know that there will be a deal on it, there very well could be.

Hi Sieghard,

Thanks for the info about the Withings Thermo accessible thermometer. I looked

RE: Accessible thermometer

[Alan Lemly]

HI Peter,

I downloaded the Kinsa Smart Stick app and while I was able to successfully add 
myself to it, I did encounter several unlabeled buttons so I'm not sure I'd 
call it 100 percent accessible. What I find a bit more puzzling is that 
although the app is named Smart Stick and they have the Smart Stick thermometer 
as one of the choices to set up for use with the app, they apparently don't 
sell this model anymore. At any rate, I could not find it on their website or 
at Amazon. I did find the Kinsa QuickCare Smart Thermometer listed in those 
available to set up with the app and available for sale both on their website 
and at Amazon. For those interested, Amazon is currently selling it for $24.99 
while Kinsa sells it for $27.99 on their website. Here is the link to it at 
Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/Kinsa-QuickCare-Smart-Thermometer-Fever/dp/B08FD28BTX/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1=Kinsa+thermometer=1603462887=8-5

Here is the link to the Kinsa website for those interested in reading more 
about them:

https://www.kinsahealth.co/

I'd welcome any other comments from those using a Kinsa thermometer and the app 
for your experience with its accessibility and the recording and tracking of 
health info with the app.

RE: Accessible thermometer

[Sieghard Weitzel]

There have been numerous cases where people did this both here in Canada as 
well as in the US and other countries and now even Amazon has been cracking 
down on this. There was an article in our news where a couple in Vancouver 
drove around to all the Costco stores and bought up their entire supply of 
alcohol wipes which they sold for $20 a pack and then they sold them for as 
high as $80 or $90 on Amazon until it came out and Amazon suspended their 
account and they were hugely shamed in the media as well as on social media by 
name.

I’m not really seeing this argument, unless you’re claiming that people are 
buying up all of these supplies so they can resell them at a profit, which I 
don’t think is the case.

I think it’s more of a case of ignorance and selfishness.

RE: Accessible thermometer

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Joy is in Canada as am I and here what she said seems to be the case. People 
bought toilet paper and a few other things like crazy which especially in the 
case of toilet paper makes no sense at all, but now this is again changing. 
Here in British Columbia almost all the toilet paper comes from 3 large 
factories right her e in the province and there was never a shortage or the 
risk of a shortage. Anyhow, if people are doing this then the stores have to 
simply prevent hording by only letting people buy 1 package of the stuff and 
people who buy up stuff to resell for a profit need to be punished harshly.

RE: Accessible thermometer

[chaltain]

I’m not really seeing this argument, unless you’re claiming that people are 
buying up all of these supplies so they can resell them at a profit, which I 
don’t think is the case.

 

I think it’s more of a case of ignorance and selfishness.

Re: Accessible thermometer

[Joy Cyr]

We also went through the short supplies but things like toilet paper and 
sanitizer are coming back into stock, think that will happen fairly soon.  for 
most people.   But  re the alcohol, this is one case when higher is not better. 
 The 70% is best because it has enough water content to help break open the 
virus.  The higher percentages are actually less effective and apparently the 
99% is next to useless.  Bleach water solution works too though so one could 
give something like a thermometer  a wipe down with a bleach solution  (10% is 
sufficient , then rinse off the thermometer in clean water.

My talking thermometer  actually goes in the ear, and works very fast which I'e 
always found handy.

Try and look up suppliers of commercial sanitation products. Our drug stores 
here are also I think still short on hand sanitizer and stuff like that, but we 
have a small local place who sells cleaning products, toilet paper, paper 
towels and so on mostly to the business community, hotels, restaurants and so 
on and he had alcohol based hand sanitizer. Places like that may have it 
although I don’t know if such businesses in the larger cities would sell to 
private customers.

Today I attempted to obtain cleaning supplies from two local stores and found 
the aisles cleaned out.  No masks either, even though we are required to wear

I can't believe how unprepared this country has been for this crisis.

Hi,

I'm on the opposite coast of the USA from Mary and I can report the same here. 
No paper products, no cleaning supplies, no alcohol, no hand sanitizer and no 
over the counter cold or allergy medicines to be had.

Wishing all on this list are well and can get that which they need with more 
ease than some of us are encountering.

Take good care.

Hey Janet,
Most of it was just not connected at all, people just talking about booze for 
no good reason in my opinion. But the connection between actual alcohol and the 
talking thermometer is that you need 70% alcohol solution to make sure that you 
have sterilized your thermometer. Kill the virus. Kill the bacteria. You need 
at least 70% alcohol to do that.

  Definitely not the time to share an under-the-tongue thermometer 
these days if multiple people in your household are using  it. I guess you 
could disinfect it each time somebody used it, but the contactless thermometers 
are definitely a better option right now and probably even if there weren’t a 
COVID-19 virus, after all, if you think you have a fever you probably want to 
avoid giving whatever causes it to anybody else. Of course that is not an issue 
if you are only 1 person who uses it.

Theoretically this should work, effective hand sanitizers should have least 62% 
alcohol (some say 70%) and 150 proof liquor would have 75% alcohol by volume.
Regular liquor like Vodka, Whiskey and all that which is typically 80 proof 
(40% alcohol by volume) has probably less effectiveness than a good washing 
with warm water and soap and washing with soap and water may still be better if 
it’s an option because you are actually washing the viruses off your skin 
whereas with hand sanitizer you trust that the alcohol simply kills them. There 
is a reason why surgeons make such a big deal of washing their hands for a very 
long time before a surgery and then hold them up to dry before a nurse puts on 
gloves without touching their skin. Tests have also shown that the Corona virus 
can survive up to 4 days on things like plastic, glass or stainless steel, 
interestingly enough it can only last a day or so on cardboard and a mere 4 
hours on copper. That is why I suggested washing the thermometer with soap and 
water and then letting it sit for 3 or 4 days would probably be about 100% safe.

Theoretically this should work, effective hand sanitizers should have least 62% 
alcohol (some say 70%) and 150 proof liquor would have 75% alcohol by volume.
Regular liquor like Vodka, Whiskey and all that which is typically 80 proof 
(40% alcohol by volume) has probably less effectiveness than a good washing 
with warm water and soap and washing with soap and water may still be better if 
it’s an option because you are actually washing the viruses off your skin 
whereas with hand sanitizer you trust that the alcohol simply kills them. There 
is a reason why surgeons make such a big deal of washing their hands for a very 
long time before a surgery and then hold them up to dry before a nurse puts on 
gloves without touching their skin. Tests have also shown that the Corona virus 
can survive up to 4 days on things like plastic, glass or stainless steel, 
interestingly enough it can only last a day or so on cardboard and a mere 4 
hours on copper. That is why I suggested washing the thermometer with soap and 
water and then letting it sit for 3 or 4 days would probably be about 100% safe.

Can you really not get pharmaceutical grade alcohol? For a while alcohol

our local sanitary supply business now had liquid hand sanitizer in little

Thanks for the info. I’m definitely keeping the information about the 
Thermo. Not going to help me now. I guess I can just hope I don’t get the 
bloody thing. Or if I can actually find rubbing alcohol, I would at least have 
something to disinfect mine when it comes back.

Definitely not the time to share an under-the-tongue thermometer these 
days if multiple people in your household are using  it. I guess you could 
disinfect it each time somebody used it, but the contactless thermometers are 
definitely a better option right now and probably even if there weren’t a 
COVID-19 virus, after all, if you think you have a fever you probably want to 
avoid giving whatever causes it to anybody else. Of course that is not an issue 
if you are only 1 person who uses it.

The Kinsa is an under the tongue thermometer.  At least, the older 
model I have is and I’m pretty sure the Bluetooth one is as well.

I’ll keep this info for reference though.  Sounds excellent.

RE: Accessible thermometer

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Theoretically this should work, effective hand sanitizers should have least 62% 
alcohol (some say 70%) and 150 proof liquor would have 75% alcohol by volume.
Regular liquor like Vodka, Whiskey and all that which is typically 80 proof 
(40% alcohol by volume) has probably less effectiveness than a good washing 
with warm water and soap and washing with soap and water may still be better if 
it’s an option because you are actually washing the viruses off your skin 
whereas with hand sanitizer you trust that the alcohol simply kills them. There 
is a reason why surgeons make such a big deal of washing their hands for a very 
long time before a surgery and then hold them up to dry before a nurse puts on 
gloves without touching their skin. Tests have also shown that the Corona virus 
can survive up to 4 days on things like plastic, glass or stainless steel, 
interestingly enough it can only last a day or so on cardboard and a mere 4 
hours on copper. That is why I suggested washing the thermometer with soap and 
water and then letting it sit for 3 or 4 days would probably be about 100% safe.

Hi Mary,

If you get yours back you should just wash it with warm water and soap, then 
let it sit for 3 or 4 days and there won’t be any danger COVID-19 is still live 
on it.
Can you really not get pharmaceutical grade alcohol? For a while alcohol based

local sanitary supply business now had liquid hand sanitizer in little spray 
bottles and 4 L (just over 1 Gallon) refills, I bought one of those for my

Definitely not the time to share an under-the-tongue thermometer these days if 
multiple people in your household are using  it. I guess you could disinfect it 
each time somebody used it, but the contactless thermometers are definitely a 
better option right now and probably even if there weren’t a COVID-19 virus, 
after all, if you think you have a fever you probably want to avoid giving 
whatever causes it to anybody else. Of course that is not an issue if you are 
only 1 person who uses it.

The Kinsa is an under the tongue thermometer.  At least, the older model I have 
is and I’m pretty sure the Bluetooth one is as well.
I’ll keep this info for reference though.  Sounds excellent.

There is also the “Thermo” from Nokia Health formerly Withings.
Below are links, first to the Withings website directly, then to the Canadian 
Apple, Amazon and Best Buy, after that the US Apple Store, Amazon, Best Buy and 
Walmart. Finally I put the links for the Thermo app on both the Canadian and US 
App Stores. The only problem is that it seems you are not going to be able to 
find one since they show as sold out everywhere or, in the case of Amazon, as 
“currently unavailable”, I guess that is probably a result of COVID-19.
I haven’t checked, but that may very well be the case for the Kinsa thermometer 
as well.
The Thermo, by the way, connects via WiFi, not Bluetooth. we have had ours for 
probably 3 years or a bit longer and

If you really need a thermometer now and can’t find a talking or connected one 
then you could always go to your local drug store or buy any good forehead or 
in-ear thermometer with a display and use Be My Eyes or Aira and have somebody 
read the display for you. This would definitely be a lot less than a 5-minute 
call so even with Aira it would be free.

If you can get one from amazon, their return policy is quite good, so if Seeing

I know some people here in Tredegar Wales who need a thermometer they say they 
are “chilling in the garden” strange when the temperature was 23C in the shade. 
 Unless of course instead of a hot tub in the garden, they may have been sat in

I have one of the talking infrared scanning ones. I got it ages ago from

it's a neat thing that runs on 2 triple a batteries and can either be used in

Are all of the ones mentioned with apps under the tongue or scanning type

The Kinsa is an under the tongue thermometer.  At least, the older model I have

There is also the “Thermo” from Nokia Health formerly Withings.

Below are links, first to the Withings website directly, then to the Canadian 
Apple, Amazon and Best Buy, after that the US Apple Store, Amazon, Best Buy and 
Walmart. Finally I put the links for the Thermo app on both the Canadian and US 
App Stores. The only problem is that it seems you are not going to be able to 
find one since they show as sold out everywhere or, in the case of Amazon, as 
“currently unavailable”, I guess that is probably a result of COVID-19.

I haven’t checked, but that may very well be the case for the Kinsa thermometer 
as well.

The Thermo, by the way, connects via WiFi, not Bluetooth. we have had ours for 
probably 3 years or a bit longer and I hadn’t used it until recently for about 
2 years because just before Christmas 2017 was the only and last time I was 
sick with the flu and a fever in probably 10 years.

I did use it a bit more often recently just checking myself since I do have a 
retail store and am out in public every day. I realized I hadn’t even connected 
it yet to my iPhone 8 which I got a year and a half ago, but as before the

probably 3 years or a bit longer and I hadn’t used it until recently for about

I did use it a bit more often recently just checking myself since I do have a

it yet to my iPhone 8 which I got a year and a half ago, but as before the 
connection was easy and quick and after signing in to the app with my user name 
and password my wife’s and my own profiles showed up and I could still see the 
measurements I took back in 2017.
The Thermo also has a display where a sighted person can instantly read the 
result, otherwise you can get the result inside the app about 15 or so seconds 
after the reading is complete.
There is one single button. You press it once and the thermometer makes a small 
vibration which means it’s ready. You have to be a little bit quick and have it 
ready pointing to the middle of your forehead about half an inch or so away 
from your skin since the measuring starts right away after the vibration and 
only lasts for about 4 or 5 seconds.
It reads the temperature contactless, as soon as it vibrates you smoothly move 
it from the middle of your forehead to your temple and stop there, the Thermo 
will vibrate twice to indicate it has finished the reading.
After you do this a few times you quickly get the hang of how fast you have to 
move it across your forehead so you get to your temple just before the second 
double vibration.
Even if you take a reading without the Thermo app open you soon get a 
notification that a new temperature reading is available, if you double tap on 
that notification the app opens and shows the profiles you have set up.
In our case it shows “Me” which is me and it shows “Jackie” which is my wife. 
Above that it then shows an unassigned reading, if you double tap on that 
Voiceover reads out the date, time and the temperature and you can then double

I bought a talking forehead thermometer from Speak To Me but it was a while

Definitely not the time to share an under-the-tongue thermometer these days 
if multiple people in your household are using  it. I guess you could disinfect

It reads the temperature contactless, as soon as it vibrates you smoothly move

Hi,
I could be wrong but I somehow
suspect that a thermometer might not be returnable being deemed
a personal health item if not before this virus business then
definitely afterwards.
And how lovely of Mary to help her
friend that way though were it me I'd just let her keep the
thermometer especially if it were an under the tongue one.
I have one of the talking infrared
scanning ones. I got it ages ago from the Speak to Me Catalog.
Not sure if they're even open let alone have stock but it's a
neat thing that runs on 2 triple a batteries and can either be
used in ear or on forehead.
Are all of the ones mentioned with
apps under the tongue or scanning type ones? I'm frankly
surprised the Exergen thermometer which is heavily advertised
typically in Winter doesn't make a talking one or have an app
linked thermometer.
Stay well and take good care
everybody.
Robin

There is also the “Thermo” from Nokia Health formerly Withings.

Below are links, first to the Withings website directly, then to the Canadian 
Apple, Amazon and Best Buy, after that the US Apple Store, Amazon, Best Buy and 
Walmart. Finally I put the links for the Thermo app on both the Canadian and US 
App Stores. The only problem is that it seems you are not going to be able to 
find one since they show as sold out everywhere or, in the case of Amazon, as 
“currently unavailable”, I guess that is probably a result of COVID-19.

I haven’t checked, but that may very well be the case for the Kinsa thermometer 
as well.

The Thermo, by the way, connects via WiFi, not Bluetooth. we have had ours for 
probably 3 years or a bit longer and I hadn’t used it until recently for about 
2 years because just before Christmas 2017 was the only and last time I was 
sick with the flu and a fever in probably 10 years.

I did use it a bit more often recently just checking myself since I do have a

Thanks for the info. I’m definitely keeping the information about the Thermo.

disinfect mine when it comes back.

multiple people in your household are using  it. I guess you could disinfect it 
each time somebody used it, but the contactless thermometers are definitely a 
better option right now and probably even if there weren’t a COVID-19 virus, 
after all, if you think you have a fever you probably want to avoid giving 
whatever causes it to anybody else. Of course that is not an issue if you are 
only 1 person who uses it.

Good to know.

The Kinsa is an under the tongue thermometer.  At least, the older model I have 
is and I’m pretty sure the Bluetooth one is as well.

I’ll keep this info for reference though.  Sounds excellent.

There is also the “Thermo” from Nokia Health formerly Withings.

Below are links, first to the Withings website directly, then to the Canadian 
Apple, Amazon and Best Buy, after that the US Apple Store, Amazon, Best Buy and 
Walmart. Finally I put the links for the Thermo app on both the Canadian and US 
App Stores. The only problem is that it seems you are not going to be able to 
find one since they show as sold out everywhere or, in the case of Amazon, as 
“currently unavailable”, I guess that is probably a result of COVID-19.

I haven’t checked, but that may very well be the case for the Kinsa thermometer 
as well.

The Thermo, by the way, connects via WiFi, not Bluetooth. we have had ours for 
probably 3 years or a bit longer and I hadn’t used it until recently for about 
2 years because just before Christmas 2017 was the only and last time I was 
sick with the flu and a fever in probably 10 years.

I did use it a bit more often recently just checking myself since I do have a 
retail store and am out in public every day. I realized I hadn’t even connected 
it yet to my iPhone 8 which I got a year and a half ago, but as before the 
connection was easy and quick and after signing in to the app with my user name 
and password my wife’s and my own profiles showed up and I could still see the 
measurements I took back in 2017.

The Thermo also has a display where a sighted person can instantly read the 
result, otherwise you can get the result inside the app about 15 or so seconds 
after the reading is complete.

There is one single button. You press it once and the thermometer makes a small 
vibration which means it’s ready. You have to be a little bit quick and have it 
ready pointing to the middle of your forehead about half an inch or so away 
from your skin since the measuring starts right away after the vibration and 
only lasts for about 4 or 5 seconds.

It reads the temperature contactless, as soon as it vibrates you smoothly move 
it from the middle of your forehead to your temple and stop there, the Thermo 
will vibrate twice to indicate it has finished the reading.

After you do this a few times you quickly get the hang of how fast you have to 
move it across your forehead so you get to your temple just before the second 
double vibration.

Even if you take a reading without the Thermo app open you soon get a 
notification that a new temperature reading is available, if you double tap on 
that notification the app opens and shows the profiles you have set up.

In our case it shows “Me” wh

I'm not sure what you mean by noncontact.
But, anyone looking for a thermometer right now is just going to have to keep 
looking until they find a supplier that still has some.

better option right now and probably even if there weren’t a COVID-19 virus, 
after all, if you think you have a fever you probably want to avoid giving 
whatever causes it to anybody else. Of course that is not an issue if you are 
only 1 person who uses it.

Good to know.
The Kinsa is an under the tongue thermometer.  At least, the older model I have 
is and I’m pretty sure the Bluetooth one is as well.
I’ll keep this info for reference though.  Sounds excellent.

There is also the “Thermo” from Nokia Health formerly Withings.
Below are links, first to the Withings website directly, then to the Canadian 
Apple, Amazon and Best Buy, after that the US Apple Store, Amazon, Best Buy and 
Walmart. Finally I put the links for the Thermo app on both the Canadian and US 
App Stores. The only problem is that it seems you are not going to be able to 
find one since they show as sold out everywhere or, in the case of Amazon, as 
“currently unavailable”, I guess that is probably a result of COVID-19.
I haven’t checked, but that may very well be the case for the Kinsa thermometer 
as well.
The Thermo, by the way, connects via WiFi, not Bluetooth. we have had ours for 
probably 3 years or a bit longer and I hadn’t used it until recently for about 
2 years because just before Christmas 2017 was the only and last time I was 
sick with the flu and a fever in probably 10 years.
I did use it a bit more often recently just checking myself since I do have a 
retail store and am out in public every day. I realized I hadn’t even connected 
it yet to my iPhone 8 which I got a year and a half ago, but as before the 
connection was easy and quick and after signing in to the app with my user name 
and password my wife’s and my own profiles showed up and I could still see the 
measurements I took back in 2017.
The Thermo also has a display where a sighted person can instantly read the 
result, otherwise you can get the result inside the app about 15 or so seconds 
after the reading is complete.
There is one single button. You press it once and the thermometer makes a small 
vibration which means it’s ready. You have to be a little bit quick and have it 
ready pointing to the middle of your forehead about half an inch or so away 
from your skin since the measuring starts right away after the vibration and 
only lasts for about 4 or 5 seconds.
It reads the temperature contactless, as soon as it vibrates you smoothly move 
it from the middle of your forehead to your temple and stop there, the Thermo 
will vibrate twice to indicate it has finished the reading.
After you do this a few times you quickly get the hang of how fast you have to 
move it across your forehead so you get to your temple just before the second 
double vibration.
Even if you take a reading without the Thermo app open you soon get a 
notification that a new temperature reading is available, if you double tap on 
that notification the app opens and shows the profiles you have set up.
In our case it shows “Me” which is me and it shows “Jackie” which is my wife. 
Above that it then shows an unassigned reading, if you double tap on that 
Voiceover reads out the date, time and the temperature and you can then double 
tap on whichever profile you want to assign that reading to. It’s very 
accessible, very simple and reliable.
After you are done you just put on the soft silicon cover and the Thermo will 
turn itself off, if you want to take a second reading you just press the button 
again and repeat. You can take 2 or 3 readings one after another and if you do 
this you’ll see in the app that it will say that there are 2, 3 or however many 
readings you took which are unassigned, you can tap on each one and assign it 
or if they are all from yourself you can tap on “Select All” and assign them 
all to your profile at once. In the same way you can also delete any of the 
readings you took or delete them all at once.
Lastly, the Thermo app will transfer data to the Apple Health app if you set 
this up and give the permission.

OK, here now all the links:

Re: Accessible Thermometer for the i phone

[Richard Turner]

Also, Kinsa makes thermometers that worked very well and the app is accessible.
I do not have a link, I got it through Amazon. The one I have plugs into the 
3.5 jack, but I noticed shortly after buying it, they have one that is strictly 
bluetooth.

Hi Gary,



We have the "Thermo" thermometer which used to be from the company Withings, 
but they were bought out by Nokia.

Here is a link, it's the canadian Apple Store, but if you have the Apple Store 
app on your phone you can find it, it is most likely available on Amazon and at 
places like Best Buy as well. When I bought it the price was only $79.99 
canadian, now it shows for $129.99 from Apple, probably would be $99 US. There 
are others, just look through the Apple Store in their Health section:



Nokia Thermo 
Thermometer



The app is quite accessible, took me a bit to get it set up, but now it works 
well. You have to practice a bit, you just swipe it across your forehead, start 
around the middle and go over to one temple and you don’t want to touch, just 
hold it a quarter inch away from your skin.

RE: Accessible Thermometer for the i phone

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Gary,



We have the "Thermo" thermometer which used to be from the company Withings, 
but they were bought out by Nokia.

Here is a link, it's the canadian Apple Store, but if you have the Apple Store 
app on your phone you can find it, it is most likely available on Amazon and at 
places like Best Buy as well. When I bought it the price was only $79.99 
canadian, now it shows for $129.99 from Apple, probably would be $99 US. There 
are others, just look through the Apple Store in their Health section:



Nokia Thermo 
Thermometer



The app is quite accessible, took me a bit to get it set up, but now it works 
well. You have to practice a bit, you just swipe it across your forehead, start 
around the middle and go over to one temple and you don’t want to touch, just 
hold it a quarter inch away from your skin.



Regards,

Sieghard

Hello everyone,

I am going through chemotherapy and need an accurate thermometer. Does anyone 
know of a thermometer that works with the i phone and that is accessible?

Thanks for any suggestions.
