OPPORTUNITY
Following with the recent news, Johnson and johnson plan to split their consumer product and pharmaceutical business. The split, provides a great opportunity for johnson and johnson to tap into the consumer thermometer market, as people have become increasingly aware of their health, and the importance of temperature monitoring.
THE EXPERIENCE WITH CURRENT POPULAR THERMOMETERS

Inaccurate result
Thermometer guns tend to be unreliable outside carefully controlled healthcare settings. They are producing unrealistically low readings in some situations and artificially high readings in others

Awkward gesture
Checking temperature with the standard gun-shaped thermometer is quite difficult to operate, and uncomfortable to handle.

Negative connotation
Pointing it to the forehead seems to carry a negative connotation and could potentially put a lot of stress on one’s mental health. So the solution is to redesign a forehead thermometer that’s more friendly and approachable.
SOLUTION
Upon further research for a solution, I found that the thermistor sensor which is often used in medical devices provides a higher measurement accuracy with an error margin of only 0.1%.
A soft form design would also be a solution to mitigate the invasive feeling user have experienced with thermometer guns.
FORM & CMF MOODBOARD
Johnson and Johnson has long been known for their reliable product and commitment to improving everyday living, and such qualities should also be reflected in its new line of products.
THERMONA
Digital thermometer with clinical-grade accuracy and attention to ergonomics
MODERN
ACCURACY
ERGONOMIC
Simple design language that resonates with modern consumer
The design is based on simple primitive shape and golden proportions,
minimum elements, the surface transitions that flows effortlessly into each other, and the matte finish which in all Gives users the impression of simplicity and quality.
Clinical Grade NTC Thermistor for ultra accuracy
the NTC Thermistor in the terminal is optimized for the human body temperature range, with a ceramic semiconductor coated with temperature-sensitive epoxy which provides Clinical-grade measurement accuracy and allows for a trustful temperature reading on the forehead or any indicated skin surface.
Intuitive and seamless user experience
Thermona is designed with the user in mind, Having the sensor embedded on a 10-degree decline surface allows for a greater range of motion. It softens the anxiety and negative connotation that a typical thermometer gun carries while still offering a seamless user experience without sacrificing the functional benefits
The size is optimized to fit most hand sizes, and The power button is strategically placed at the area for both the thumb and index finger, which can be used with either the left or right hand.
A necessity for modern living, and a reliable device that will keep user's health in check.
