Remember when mom would come in your room and check up on you when you were sick. I do and the very thing I would always look out for was when she would put here hand on my forehead. No medicine in the world could match that. When mom does that I feel the fever leaving me that instant. Ah, just one of the fondest memories of my childhood. Now that I’m a parent I’d like my child to experience that same feeling. I’m sure it is also heavenly for her.

Parents today now have an option, via a concept design from Yanko Design called the Lunar Baby Thermometer.

The idea is based on a common and natural behavior of putting your hand on the forehead to measure internal heat of their body. Checking the temperature by scanning the forehead with this device is easier and faster, since it eliminates the need to insert an external tool while holding them in a still position. The intuitive shape of the device allows the user to easily understand how to hold and use the device. The organic and ergonomic shape provides a secure grasp in the users hand.

It’s real simple to use, as you can see all it takes is to place the device between two fingers. A beeping sound and a flashing red LED light will notify you when the reading is done.

Now I know there are other temperature measuring devices out that uses technology, just like the ones in doctors’ offices where it is inserted in-ear. That is a little expensive though. I’m sure the Lunar Baby Thermometer would be priced (if it ever makes it to the assembly line) for consumers well.
