The Goodbaby touchless thermometer utilizes a Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor array to provide quick temperature data. The chassis is built from high-impact ABS plastic, which offers moderate protection against drops on soft surfaces. A notable feature of this unit is the high-performance display backlight, which is designed to maintain visibility in total darkness, making it useful for monitoring sleeping children at night.
Internally, the microcontroller uses an algorithm to compensate for heat loss between the skin and the sensor. This zero-contact design is a hygienic choice for families, as it eliminates the risk of cross-contamination. The on-board memory can store up to 35 readings, providing a helpful log for tracking health over time.
To ensure sensor stability, the device should stay in the same room as the patient for at least 20 minutes before taking a measurement.
While the device does not include an ultrasonic distance sensor, it is optimized for use within a 3cm range. For long-term storage, removing the AAA batteries is recommended to minimize standby current drain. This helps preserve the integrity of the battery contacts over several years.
If you prefer a thermometer that specifically includes a vibration alert to avoid waking a child, you might look at the iHealth PT3 model.
