Can a No-Touch thermometer match the Old-School kind?
NCT ID NCT07728916
First seen Jul 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study checks whether an infrared thermometer gives accurate temperature readings compared to a standard electronic thermometer. About 155 people of all ages, from infants to adults, will have their temperature taken with both devices. The goal is to see if the infrared version is precise enough for everyday use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Infrared thermometer device
- What this could lead to
- If accurate, this thermometer could provide a quick, non-invasive way to check body temperature.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small accuracy study, not a test of real-world use. The device may not perform as well in everyday settings.
