TempTraq for COVID-19: Continuous Temperature Monitoring for Patients, HCPs, and Critical Industries 
Clinical Benefits
​Earlier Fever Detection
​Early detection of fever and prompt use of broad-spectrum
antibiotics is crucial in neutropenic patients:
  • ​78% of patients who received an allogeneic HSCT had bacteraemia during the first episode of fever.1​
  • An hour delay in antibiotic administration resulted in an approximately eight hour increase in length of hospital stay among patients with febrile neutropenia.2
​“It is crucial to recognize neutropenic fever early and to commence broad spectrum empiric antibiotics promptly in order to avoid sepsis syndrome and possible death.”

​Remote Patient Monitoring
​Hospitals seeking to improve patient care, reduce readmissions, optimize reimbursements and gain competitive advantage, are rapidly embracing new technologies that enable remote patient monitoring.
TempTraq provides a proven, reliable system to remotely
monitor patients for fever spikes, a key symptom of infection.
It also allows for self-monitoring through a smartphone app.
​“Remote Monitoring for patients means fewer office and emergency room visits, fewer and reduced duration of hospitalizations, reduced patient travel time and expense, and increased access (for the elderly, the physically challenged, the homebound, and especially for rural patients).”

Telehomecare and Remote Monitoring: An Outcomes Overview
M Stachura, AdvaMed
​Infection Control
​Septicemia is the costliest condition treated by U.S. hospitals,
accounting for $20.3 billion, or 5.2%, of all hospital costs.3

Severe sepsis accounts for an estimated 40% of all ICU
expenditures.4 In addition, sepsis cases present:
  • ​Average length of stay of 19.6 days 5
  • Average cost per case of $22,1005
  • Overall hospital mortality rate of 28%5
  • ICU treatment cost of 6X more than non-sepsis patients 6
​“Each hour of delay in antimicrobial administration over the ensuing 6 hours was associated with an average decrease in survival of 7.6%.”

Duration of hypotension before initiation of effective antimicrobial therapy is the critical determinant of survival in human septic shock
