Connecting things to your phone using Bluetooth makes them smart. We know this buy now (by*, sorry, easy mistake). Tech companies have been feeding us this concept long enough for our bodies to digest it. And when they start to heat up from an adverse reaction, fortunately there's a smart gadget out there that can let us know. Blue Spark's TempTraq Bluetooth thermometer is now available for purchase. You can snag one for .

We've covered the TempTraq before, back when the product was still undergoing FDA review. Six months later, here we are. I should take this moment to point out that the TempTraq is hardly the first Bluetooth-connected thermometer. Temperature is so easy and obvious a thing to send over a wireless connection for someone to have taken this long.

No, what makes TempTraq stand apart is how long it's in use. This product is designed to provide you with continuous readings for up to 24 hours. The product, which can spare you from having to regularly disturb a sick child, is able to send readings every 10 seconds.

The product itself is a patch similar to an adhesive bandage. You stick it under your child's arm.

The companion app doesn't just provide the current temperature, it offers a view at how the data has changed over time. And it sends alerts when your kid's temperature rises into the red zone.

This can save you from having to check up on the baby as often. The thing is, Bluetooth connections can drop and batteries die, so you're probably going to want to keep a close eye nonetheless. And if they start crying, there's a smart way to deal with that too.
