The Ear-T from Innov2Learn is a groundbreaking innovation in clinical simulation, designed for educators and healthcare training programs seeking a more realistic, efficient, and immersive way to teach tympanic temperature assessment. Inspired by the Braun ThermoScan® and hospital-grade ear thermometers, the Ear-T brings an unprecedented level of authenticity to simulation labs while eliminating common training frustrations such as shouting out fake values, using stickers, or improvising temperature readings during scenarios.
Built to function seamlessly with standardized patients (SPs), actors, and any level of manikin—from low-fidelity task trainers to fully integrated high-fidelity manikins—the Ear-T elevates every scenario that requires patient temperature measurement. Whether you’re teaching basic vital signs, emergency response, pediatrics, geriatrics, infection-control protocols, or advanced clinical decision making, this device ensures learners are fully engaged and interacting with tools that look and behave like the real thing.
Real-Time, Instructor-Controlled Readings
The Ear-T is remotely controlled using Innov2Learn’s free mobile APP, allowing instructors to send temperature values directly to the device’s bright, easy-to-read display in either °C or °F. Readings can be:
- Preset in the APP and triggered using the Ear-T “Measurement” button
- Forced manually in real time to adapt the scenario on the fly
- Cleared remotely, returning the device to idle mode
A clear audible beep confirms each new reading, mimicking the behavior of real tympanic thermometers and reinforcing proper measurement technique.
Long-Lasting Power and Reliable Connectivity
Powered by an internal lithium battery, the Ear-T operates for an entire day of continuous training and recharges easily via any standard USB-C charger. The battery-level indicator is visible on the device and directly in the APP, h selping instructors monitor usage during long simulation days or multi-day training events.
With a powerful Bluetooth BLE connection, the Ear-T can be controlled from up to 15 meters away, even through glass or thick walls. This gives instructors the flexibility to run complex, high-stakes scenarios outside the room while ensuring learners receive accurate, responsive temperature values.
Designed for Realism and Practicality
To maintain strict hygiene and standard protocols, the Ear-T is fully compatible with Braun ThermoScan lens filters, the same type used widely in hospitals, clinics, and teaching institutions. This not only enhances realism but also supports infection-control teaching objectives.
The device’s bright screen remains visible in dimly lit rooms—perfect for night-shift simulations or emergency scenarios.
