摘要：

More and more health-monitoring devices are appearing on the market for both anticipating and preventing crucial health conditions. We describe a minimally invasive device for monitoring children's body temperature easily and effectively. Development of the device was divided into two stages: (1) a product specification process, which included detailed analysis of the problem, competitive analysis, and consumer surveys; and (2) development and optimization of the product, which included testing the product prototype with target users. Usability and safety were central considerations for developing the product to ensure successful use by children. User feedback testing showed that the final version of the product was well received by the target user group. © Human Factors and Ergonomics Society.
