Top Line: Perfect Squares, a Euless, Texas company that designs, patents and markets optical devices and at-home health care monitoring products, is releasing TempaFrame, an eyeglass-based body temperature monitoring device.
Close Up: TempaFrame attaches to any optical frame temple and continuously monitors and records the wearer's body temperature, sending the information to their smartphone via the free TempaFrame app. Since body temperature fluctuations are one of the first signs of illness, wearers can discreetly observe these changes and take appropriate actions, if necessary. TempaFrame is small, reusable, and comes in a variety of colors to match virtually any temple.
Vital Stats: TempaFrame is one of the first product releases in Perfect Squares' line of FirstWearable health care wearable monitoring products, which includes ThermoBand, SmartWearBand, ActiveBand, FallBand, BreathBand, and ImpactBand.
