This Mickey Mouse-shaped"Band-Aid," developed by Refresh Inc., a tech company in southern China, can track the wearer's body temperature in real time.Staff at Olympics curling competitions are wearing thermometers that track their body temperatures in real time.
Beijing is using the winter Olympics as an opportunity to showcase some of its most cutting-edge tech — and one such gadget, a Mickey Mouse-shaped "Band-Aid," is currently making its debut in the curling competitions. "These thermometers are like sentinels," Wang told Insider in a Chinese-language interview. "We're proud that our technology is helping in creating a clean and safe Olympics that can be seen by the world."Refresh took about a year to develop the thermometers and started using them on a large scale in June, when it helped municipal officials in 20 Chinese cities monitor quarantined persons, said Wang.
