This superb forehead thermometer, more accurately known as a temporal thermometer, takes temperature readings via the temporal artery (a major blood vessel) located at the side of your temple. We’ve had our Withings Thermo for a while and it’s reliable and simple to use, and capable of tracking fever, a common coronavirus symptom (opens in new tab), in up to users, both adults and kids. Once a reading is taken, the Withings Thermo app will give you health advice based on the person’s age, temperature, fever history and any other symptoms.

The non-invasive Withings Thermo forehead thermometer uses something called HotSpot technology. This is made up of 16 infrared sensors that take over 4,000 temperature measurements per single reading, which is mind blowing. As mentioned, the thermometer uses a color-coded system to show you at a glance if a fever is present. The actual temperature reading will also be displayed on the thermometer itself (and stored in the app). This Withings forehead thermometer is quiet in use too, so it’s a good one to use if the person you’re caring for is asleep and you don’t want to disturb them. Because it can track body temperature readings for up to eight people, the Withings Thermo is also an ideal choice for families or house shares. Considering how cheap it is at Best Buy, it could be one of the best COVID health purchases you’ve made yet.
