Arm families and staff with an essential health tool

40% of school families do not have access to a working thermometer.* Empower your students and staff to accurately identify illness at its first sign by providing every family with Kinsa’s award-winning smart thermometer. No cost to schools, staff, students, or families.

*Survey conducted by Kinsa across 1,018 schools.

Prevent the spread of illness

If a fever or symptom is present, families are reminded to stay home and guided to appropriate care to get better faster and prevent the spread of germs.

Understand the health of your school community

Your private dashboard aggregates anonymous health trends at the grade level, all while protecting student privacy - no individual data is shared by Kinsa. If illness levels start to rise, you can immediately communicate with families to prompt preventative actions to stop the spread.
