SMARTR Health Limited, also called Celsium, is a medical technology company. It has developed the world’s first medical-grade device that continuously measures core temperature, both accurately and non-invasively, through a combination of a wearable sensor and a smart platform. Intended for use in the formal healthcare sector, as well as at home, it has been classified as a CE Class 2A medical device in the EU and as an FDA 510K medical device in the US. In a clinical study, conducted in collaboration with Boston Children’s Hospital and Cleveland Clinic, the company's product showed promising results 10-20 times more accurate than current devices. Celsium has experienced a surge in demand due to Covid-19, where fever is a key symptom. This, the company argues, is a perfect time to accelerate its business plan.
