2020, when the importance of temperature monitoring has increased and the need to reduce opportunities for human contact has increased. The news that thermometers in stores are in short supply is still fresh in our minds. What role does the "hugsafety Smart Temperature Checking Service," which was launched in 2019, play in the Corona vortex childcare field? Continuing from our previous article, we spoke with Megumi Honda, Marketing and Service Planning Department, Planning Director, hugmo Inc.

The "Smart Thermometer" and the dedicated app work together to record temperature readings.

Editor: Please tell us about the features of the hugsafety Smart Temperature Detection Service.

Honda: The "hugsafety Smart Temperature Monitoring Service" is a service that streamlines the process of temperature monitoring and recording by linking the "Smart Thermometer", a non-contact IoT thermometer, with a dedicated app. The dedicated app features a cloud-based management system that allows the results of temperature readings taken by the Smart Thermometer to be shared throughout the childcare facility. A graph of average values can be displayed for each child on a weekly or daily basis, making it easier to understand trends in the child's physical condition.

Editor: You can also notice small changes in children.

Honda: There are individual differences between children, with some having a higher normal temperature and others a lower. By setting a certain body temperature as a threshold in advance, the system alerts childcare staff when the temperature exceeds the threshold. For example, if your child has a pre-existing condition such as febrile convulsions, you can set the body temperature alert to be a little lower so that you can notice it earlier. Of course, the homeroom teachers are well aware of the physical condition of the children, but due to shift schedules, the same teachers are not always available to watch the children. It's a big advantage that we can share the children's physical condition smoothly regardless of which nursery teacher is watching them.
