Company Description

Kinsa is creating the world's first real-time map of human health.

Kinsa is transforming how people care for themselves, their families, and their communities using mobile technologies and products. These same products empower society with tools to track the spread of disease in real-time, and stop it. Our first product is a low-cost smartphone-connected thermometer. It allows us to communicate with people who have just fallen ill. The worldâ€s smartest thermometer, it does not simply tell you your temperature, rather it transform the way you care for your family. You can track your symptoms with a few simple taps to show your doctor later, view the “health weather” in the local area or at your child's school to know whether it's strep or flu going around, or book a medical appointment. It is also a better thermometer. We designed it with children and parents in mind. Using the smartphone's display, we have created an engaging experience potentially making it easier to take a sick child's temperature. Members of our team previously built international health programs that put more than 2 million people onto life-saving treatments and started successful technology ventures.
