Fast Facts

Young children often get ill, but they cannot say how they are feeling. The Welltot™ continuous temperature monitor gives parents the data they need to care for their babies when they are sick.

Today’s thermometers
are limited

Pediatric thermometers on the market today give only one measurement, and only when actively used.

What if parents could monitor the ups and downs of their child’s illness without getting out of bed?

Continuous monitoring
is the key 

The Welltot is a continuous temperature monitor. Worn on the chest, the Welltot records over 50 temperature measurements per hour and updates the parents’ phones.

Parents can set notifications and receive alerts when their child’s temperature goes too high.

Key Features

• The Welltot contains a very accurate temperature sensor thermally connected to the child’s skin
• Sensor can be worn 24/7 using either a strap or a biocompatible adhesive
• Patented power-management techniques means Welltot’s battery will last for 6 months of active use, plus one year shelf life; no recharging
• Device includes a sensitive accelerometer for future use in monitoring heart rate, heart-rate variability, respiration and other motion-based metrics

Traction & Accomplishments 

Product Development: We completed development of the first version of Welltot, are completing the first batch of manufacturing, and are applying for FCC and BT Sig certifications.

Patents / IP: We have one patent application covering the use of multiple biometrics to proactively detect illness. The priority date of this is prior to much of the Covid-related research that subsequently also showed that this was possible. We also exclusively license various power management and radio management patents from our design partner.

Partnerships: We have an MOU with Life 365/Life Connect expressing our desire to collaborate. Life 365 is a leader in remote patient monitoring.

Manufacturing / Distribution: We use a number of contract manufacturers and conduct final assembly in San Diego at the manufacturing facilities of our design partner.
