iWEECARE’s Temp Pal contactless continuous temperature monitoring solution
helps protect healthcare workers and care for patients during the pandemic
TAIPEI, June 14, 2021. With the recent COVID-19 outbreak in Taiwan, iWEECARE Co., Ltd. has launched the Temp Pal Medical Pandemic Prevention Support Program to help medical facilities implement a "Remote Zero-Touch Temperature Monitoring System." This system monitors body temperature readings of hundreds of patients at a time, not only allowing remote detection of dangerous fevers in COVID-19 patients, but also significant reductions in virus exposure and infection risk to medical workers.

Chen Juncheng, Chief operating officer at iWEECARE, said “The pandemic has led to a shortage of medical manpower, and healthcare workers have tragically faced heightened risk of exposure. The Temp Pal temperature patch monitoring system integrates many-to-many remote monitoring functions into the hospital's central IT system. By affixing cloud-connected temperature patches on patients in isolation wards, Temp Pal’s system can continuously monitor temperature readings of hundreds of patients on tablets.”
Temp Pal’s system has several benefits to hospitals. First and foremost, by reducing the frequency of vital checks, the risk of personnel contact and infection is significantly. Remote patient monitoring also reduces the cost of direct patient care time. According to statistics of hospitals that have implemented remote temperature monitoring solutions, medical staff can enter the ward fewer than 6 times a day. Hospitals also realize a secondary cost benefit in reducing the need for personal protective equipment (PPE) and the time it takes staff to change gear.
The Temp Pal remote patient monitoring system also works in home isolation and independent living scenarios. For instance, public health departments can use the system in conjunction with phone-based GPS to monitor in real time the temperature and location of individuals under quarantine. This way, fever symptoms can be detected to provide timely medical assistance while ensuring compliance with quarantine protocols. Patient information can be accessed using a hospital’s secure IT system, tablet PC or cell phone in manners consistent with patient data privacy policies and protocols.
In response to the recent surge in demand for remote patient monitoring, iWEECARE is also collaborating with Leadtek Telemedicine, WiseMed and Envoy Information to integrate contactless, smart temperature measurement into other remote and smart healthcare solutions. The company strives to contribute to epidemic prevention and safety through the use of technology, while significantly improving the quality of medical care.
