Kinsa, a New York City–based maker of an FDA-cleared smart thermometer has won $9.6 million in Series A financing, which includes funding from Kleiner Perkins and others.
The company’s thermometer can plug into a smartphone via the headphone jack. The smartphone provides the horsepower, including the display, power, and processing capabilities needed to both capture an accurate reading and keep track of the data. By logging data, the device can help parents and doctors keep track of when their child began having a fever, how long they were sick, and so forth. Individual profiles can be created for different members of the household.
