hey it's Lauren from the verge and I'm guessing that at first glance you have no idea what this thing is and I don't blame you it's funny-looking it is a health device it's a thermometer it's an infrared thermometer probably doesn't look like the thermometer that your mom uses to hear your tongue when you were a kid but this is the newest connected medical device from the Withings and it works by well - you stick this thing against your forehead really against your temple and it detects the kind of hot spots and then it flashes your temperature on the display here it supports different members of the family so if you have kids or they're just more than one of you that's consistently taking your temperature it will store that in the Withings mobile apps you can see what everybody's temperature is and in a lot of ways this is a little bit more comfortable I guess it's supposed to be more comfortable than using a traditional thermometer the question I have is about accuracy the jury is really still out on how accurate infrared thermometers really are and this thing is still not fda-approved living says that it should be up to you a group by the time that it's supposed to shift in March but it is not yet FDA approved livings also says that it is within the accuracy range that the FDA has sex as a standard but like I said we really won't know that until you see whether or not it gets approved and comes to market cost $100 ships this spring and yeah I don't know about you but I'm just kind of sick of looking at it to look let's get them to try it and see what my temperature is so I'm supposed to press this button one stick it on my forehead by my eyebrow so I feel it vibrate doing anything fell is it working I don't think it's down the hotspot my head doesn't have a hotspot I just put it on an artery or something I look stupid something vibrated is their number 37.4 I'm guessing that Celsius what is that in Fahrenheit I don't know I don't know either case I don't feel particularly feverish right now I'm guessing I'm okay as we have the end of CES I might be saying something different especially if I get the CES flu but so that's the new Withings infrared thermometer called the thermo for more of our CES videos be sure to check out our YouTube page thanks everybody
