ThermoSpot
John Zeal and David Morley
ThermoSpot is a temperature gauge to check for hypothermia.
The ThermoSpot is a liquid crystal temperature gauge that indicates hypothermia by changing color. This product was selected for inclusion in WHO’s 2012 Compendium of Innovative Health Technologies for Low-Resource Settings.
The product has been targeted for use in rural, under-resourced areas where at-home births are common.
Maternova sells the ThermoSpot in sets of 25 thermoindicators for 12.50 USD. The product is also sold by Teaching-aids At Low Cost (TALC) in packs of 25 for 5 USD.
Goal 3: Good health and well-being
