Solos Health Analytics is a technology company that offers FeverGuard, a wearable device designed to monitor body temperature and other vital signals in real-time. Launched in 2020, the company rapidly developed its innovative product amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. FeverGuard features a watch-like design with an armband that collects data and transmits it wirelessly via Bluetooth to a user's smartphone. The data is then analyzed by a cloud-based machine learning system, which establishes the user's normal body temperature range and alerts them to any anomalies.
The key differentiator of FeverGuard is its ability to provide continuous, real-time monitoring of vital signs, allowing early detection of potential health issues. Unlike existing apps that track individual metrics separately, FeverGuard consolidates multiple vital signs into a single platform, offering a comprehensive view of the user's health data. The device is particularly beneficial for essential workers, enabling them to monitor their body temperature throughout the day and take appropriate action if an anomaly is detected, thereby reducing the risk of viral spread.
FeverGuard prioritizes user data privacy, ensuring that each user retains ownership of their personal health information and can choose whether to share it with healthcare providers or others. The company's vision extends beyond FeverGuard, with plans to expand its app's capabilities to encompass a broader range of health and wellness monitoring features, distinct from fitness-focused wearables.
