Hospital-grade monitoring, in your own bed.
Recovery increasingly happens at home — after surgery, chemotherapy, or a hospital discharge. P20 brings continuous temperature surveillance home with it.
Why home temperature monitoring matters after discharge
Patients are discharged with instructions to "watch for fever" — which in practice means occasional manual checks and a lot of worry in between.
- Post-operative infections often announce themselves with fever first
- Immunocompromised patients need faster detection, not daily checks
- Family caregivers can't watch around the clock
Continuous fever monitoring at home: how P20 works
24/7 automatic surveillance
Every 5 seconds, day and night — the vigilance of a hospital ward without anyone having to stay awake.
Instant threshold alerts
The moment temperature crosses the limit you set, the household phone buzzes — and remote family members see it too.
A record your doctor can use
Bring the exact temperature history to follow-up appointments, or send it ahead of a telehealth consult.
One wireless digital thermometer for the whole household
- Reusable sensor — fresh patch per person
- Works for children, adults and seniors alike
- Bedside terminal option for family members without smartphones
Setting up home temperature monitoring for recovery
Why home temperature monitoring matters more after discharge
Patients are increasingly sent home to recover from surgery, chemotherapy or serious illness with instructions to "watch for fever" — advice that in practice means occasional manual checks and a lot of uncertainty in between. Post-surgery fever monitoring at home benefits from the same continuous approach used in hospitals: a wearable sensor that samples every 5 seconds removes the guesswork about whether a borderline reading is trending up or down.
Remote patient temperature monitoring for a household or family caregiver
A single P20 sensor and the companion app give a family caregiver the same visibility a nurse would have on a ward: a live curve, a threshold alert set for that patient's specific risk profile, and a notification the moment it's crossed. For fever monitoring after chemotherapy in particular, where a low-grade fever can signal a serious complication requiring immediate attention, an automatic alert removes the dependence on someone remembering to check on schedule.
What continuous monitoring adds that a follow-up call can't
A telehealth check-in or phone call captures a single moment, much like a manual thermometer reading. A home-monitored patient instead generates a continuous record that can be reviewed at the next appointment or shared ahead of a telehealth consult — showing exactly when a fever started, how high it went, and how it responded to any medication, rather than relying on the patient's memory of "it felt warm around dinner."
Setting appropriate alert thresholds for home recovery
The right threshold depends on the clinical context — a post-surgical patient's care team may specify a lower threshold than a routine fever alert, particularly for immunocompromised patients where any fever warrants prompt attention. We recommend confirming the appropriate threshold with the patient's physician rather than using a default value, and revisiting it as recovery progresses.
Home temperature monitoring questions
How does home temperature monitoring help after surgery?
A wearable sensor tracks temperature continuously through the recovery window rather than relying on periodic manual checks, so a post-operative fever is caught close to when it starts rather than at the next scheduled check. The full curve is also available to show the surgical team at follow-up.
Can this be used for remote patient temperature monitoring across a household?
Yes. The companion app supports family sharing, so any caregiver in the household — or a family member checking in remotely — can see live readings and receive the same threshold alert without needing to be physically present.
Is P20 suitable for monitoring a patient during chemotherapy recovery?
P20 is a continuous temperature monitoring device; whether it's an appropriate tool for a specific chemotherapy recovery plan should be confirmed with the patient's oncology team, particularly regarding the alert threshold, since fever during immunosuppression can require urgent attention.
How do I choose the right alert threshold for a recovering patient at home?
This should be set based on guidance from the patient's care team rather than a generic default, since appropriate thresholds vary by procedure, condition and immune status. The app lets you set a custom threshold per person.
Can one P20 kit cover multiple people recovering in the same household?
The sensor is reusable with a fresh patch per person, so one kit can serve different family members over time, though each person should be monitored with their own appropriately set alert threshold.
