Helpful wearables

I had to get a new thermometer while battling the flu the other day. When looking on the shelf at the local CVS, I came across a reasonably priced smart thermometer, called Kinsa, and decided to try it out.

It was a very positive experience, all the way from setup via Bluetooth. 

Especially pleasant (I'd go as far as calling it a delightful UX), was the way the application opened up and instead of jumping into the typical homescreen, dashboard, or menu initial screen -- it had a conversation with me, through a super simple chat interface. After answering a few questions, my user profile was created and the app was ready to help me, with my single need of taking a medical device reading (in this case, temperature), and suggesting some next steps based on that (should I call the doctor? are my symptoms serious?) - which is all that I wanted from this app and device. 

Hats off to the Kinsa team for designing this experience, and obviously testing it, to make sure it's as easy and useful for all of us to use. 

It made my life easier and I'm grateful for having this product available in the local pharmacy. 

The experience and guidance that it provided beyond a traditional thermometer, was well worth the premium extra couple of bucks it cost.
