Identiv’s uTrust SafeTemp patch is a wearable near field communication (NFC)-enabled transponder that supports the reopening of public spaces, including theme parks and stadiums, and helps operators keep attendees and employees comfortable, confident, and safe.

The new solution combines the simplicity of using NFC and the smart technology potential of the Internet of Things (IoT), making body temperature monitoring easier than ever.

uTrust SafeTemp is most accurately read when applied under the upper arm, features skin friendly, water-resistant adhesive, and can be worn for multiple days. For instant temperature measurements, tap the passive patch with any NFC-enabled smartphone. The positioning of the patch allows temperature measurement close to the body yet keeps the readout as simple as possible.

NFC Enabled Body Temperature Patch

For clinical-grade applications, the patch can be combined with a high-accuracy temperature sensor, which follows the ASTM E1112 Standard for Electronic Thermometers for Intermittent Determination of Patient Temperature.

An active battery version has been developed for customers who need to track body temperatures over a longer period of time without tapping. Attached to the body, it can track temperature measurements over multiple days and store the data in the cloud or in an offline application.

Global governments and healthcare workers can utilize either the passive or active version for quarantined citizens, employees, or patients testing positive for COVID-19.

Monitored via the cloud, temperature measurements can be assessed without sending someone to take a reading in-person. However, if a patient’s condition suddenly grows worse, healthcare personnel can be immediately alerted.

Identiv has been creating award-winning IoT-enabled temperature-sensing and datalogging solutions for the past five years.
