iHealth PT3 No-Touch Forehead Thermometer review

The iHealth PT3 is built around one-press simplicity. You point it at the forehead and get a reading in 1 second, with a gentle vibration instead of a beep, which iHealth pitches for checking children without waking them. Three sensors work together: an ambient sensor that adjusts for the room, a distance sensor that confirms you are in the correct range, and an infrared sensor that iHealth says measures 100 data points per reading. The bright LED display is readable in a dark bedroom, and the device is rated for infants, children and adults. iHealth says the PT3 won an iF Design Award, and it comes in white or black for $35.99 on iHealth's own store. The product page does not list a memory count, an object mode or a published accuracy figure, so buyers who want to log a fever over several days or check bottle temperatures should compare the Beurer FT90 or iProven NCT-978.
