Our Mission | Kinsa Inc.

At Kinsa, we believe that the way to stop illness from spreading is to know where and when it’s starting. So we took the most common health device in the world and reimagined it in a single way: we connected it to your smartphone.

Kinsa thermometers guide our millions of users to the care they need when they fall ill, while gathering aggregated, anonymous information to better understand what illnesses are circulating.

Our top-rated, award-winning thermometers are loved by doctors and parents alike, and our illness data has been validated by leading scientists and featured on hundreds of news stations.
