IoT offers a way to track COVID-19 via connected thermometers
|
||||
======
|
||||
The COVID-19 pandemic has catapulted one manufacturer of connected thermometers to national prominence, as Kinsa provides a possible window into the spread of the disease.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
A company called Kinsa is leveraging [IoT][2] tech to create a network of connected thermometers, collecting a huge amount of anonymous health data that could offer insights into the current and future pandemics.
|
||||
|
||||
The company’s founder and CEO, Inder Singh, said that the ability to track fever levels across the U.S. in close to real time could be a crucial piece of information for both the public at large and for decision-makers in the healthcare sector and government.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
The system’s networking technology is relatively straightforward – the thermometer connects via Bluetooth to an app on the user’s phone, which reports anonymized data back to Kinsa’s cloud over the Internet. Singh emphasizes that the company only organizes data down to the county level, and asserts that identifying individuals through Kinsa’s data is more or less impossible.
|
||||
|
||||
“We’re not providing PII, we’re not providing identified data,” he said. “The app just guides you to the care and services you need.”
|
||||
|
||||
Armed with the temperature reading and some basic demographic information about the person whose temperature was taken and their other symptoms, the app can offer rudimentary guidance about whether a visit to the doctor is needed or not, and whether the user’s area is seeing unusual levels of fever.
|
||||
|
||||
However, the real value is in the aggregated data that Kinsa analyzes and breaks out on its [U.S. Health Weather Map][1], gleaned from the million-plus thermometers in the company’s ecosystem. The idea, according to Singh, is to provide the public with a way to make more informed decisions about their health.
|
||||
|
||||
“It’s very participatory,” he said. “Everyone gets the data, and everyone can respond.”
|
||||
|
||||
Kinsa still sells its thermometers directly to consumers, but plans are afoot for the company to collaborate more closely with local governments, health authorities and even school districts – Singh said that Kinsa is already partnering with two U.S. states (which he declined to name), and several city governments, including St. Augustine, Florida.
|
||||
|
||||
“Our hope is that we can figure out how to build a scalable model – we’re never gonna scale globally by just selling $20 thermometers,” he said. The goal is to become widespread enough that the product can act as a meaningful early warning system for the healthcare sector.

物联网提供了一种通过联网温度计跟踪COVID-19的方法
|
||||
======
|
||||
COVID-19大流行使一家联网温度计制造商成为全国知名企业，因为Kinsa提供了一个可能了解疾病传播的窗口。
|
||||
[Kinsa / 传单 / 开放式街道地图 / 三维电解剖标测系统][1]
|
||||
|
||||
一家名为Kinsa的公司正在利用[物联网][2]技术来创建一个连接温度计的网络，收集大量的匿名健康数据，这些数据可以为了解当前和未来的流行病提供帮助。
|
||||
|
||||
该公司创始人兼首席执行官英德尔·辛格(Inder Singh)表示，能够近乎实时地跟踪美国各地的发烧水平，对于广大公众以及医疗保健部门和政府的决策者来说，都可能是一条至关重要的信息。
|
||||
|
||||
[[通过订阅Network World时事通讯获取定期的见解。]][3]
|
||||
|
||||
该系统的联网技术相对简单——温度计通过蓝牙连接到用户手机上的一个应用程序，该应用程序通过互联网将匿名数据报告给Kinsa的云。辛格强调说，该公司只整理到县一级的数据，并声称通过Kinsa的数据识别个人几乎是不可能的。
|
||||
|
||||
“我们不提供个人身份信息，我们不提供识别数据，”他说。“这款应用程序只会引导你找到你需要的护理和服务。”
|
||||
|
||||
有了体温读数和一些关于体温测量者的基本人口统计信息以及他们的其他症状，这款应用程序可以提供基本的指导，比如是否需要去看医生，以及用户所在的区域是否出现了异常的发烧程度。
|
||||
|
||||
然而，真正的价值在于Kinsa在其[美国健康天气地图][1]上分析和细分的聚合数据，这些数据是从该公司生态系统中的100多万个温度计收集而来的。根据辛格的说法，这个想法是为了给公众提供一种方式，让他们对自己的健康做出更明智的决定。
|
||||
|
||||
“这是一个参与性很强的活动，”他说。“每个人都能得到数据，每个人都能做出反应。”
|
||||
|
||||
Kinsa仍然直接向消费者销售温度计，但该公司正计划与地方政府、卫生部门甚至学区进行更密切的合作——辛格说，Kinsa已经与美国两个州（他拒绝透露姓名）以及包括圣奥古斯丁，佛罗里达州在内的多个市政府合作。
|
||||
|
||||
他说：“我们的希望是，我们能够找出如何建立一个可扩展的模型——我们永远不会只靠卖20美元的温度计就可以在全球范围内扩展。”。我们的目标是使该产品能够广泛应用，从而成为医疗保健部门有意义的早期预警系统。
