Internet-based mail order spectacle company Warby Parker has released an iPhone app that may be able to go some way to replace the need for a visit to an optometrist for some people.

The Withings Thermo is a device that was originally revealed during this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2016), and billed as a new type of contactless thermometer that would facilitate the “most precise temperature” readings possible from a device of this nature.

At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Withings has introduced its latest health-based product, the Thermo. We live in a growing age of connected devices, the majority of which had all been luxury items, such as intelligent watches and iPhone-connected games and toys. Withings however has a pedigree of taking products that are found throughout most homes and adding a little bit of flair and modern age tech to them. The thermometer is the latest to undergo the Withings treatment with the Thermo acting as a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connected temperature gauge that’s fit for the modern age.
