The whole idea behind smart technology is to make life easier. And, nobody needs life made easier more than new parents—the constant worrying, the lack of sleep, and the never-ending to-do lists can get really stressful, so it’s always welcome when a device like TempTraq makes child rearing not only easier, but more reassuring. We […]

Smart health and fitness devices by and large have remained dumb in one critical way—they forget how many of us live in families.
