Smart thermometers connecting with mobile devices to help diagnose illness

Fever is an early sign of many illnesses and the thermometer is often the first tool used to confirm that someone is sick. Kinsa Smart Thermometer is an Indiegogo project that leverages the power of mobile connectivity to tell you your temperature along with what illnesses are going around, what you might have, and what you can do about it. The paired app allows you to see if the flu, strep throat, or other illnesses are making their way around your friends and community. You won't know exactly who is ill, as the data is supposedly anonymized, but you will know what's going around.
