Entrepreneur Magazine named Wharton junior Aaron Goldstein Top College Entrepreneur of 2014 after he developed FeverSmart, a device that monitors temperature and sends cellphone alerts when a fever spikes.
Goldstein came up with the idea for the device after his freshman-year roommate, fellow Wharton junior Colin Hill, had to keep his temperature constantly monitored while being treated for Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Hill was unable to be monitored constantly and had to deal with trips to the hospital after waking with a high temperature.
Goldstein and Hill raised a few hundred thousand dollars via different channels and, after receiving a $5,000 prize from Entrepreneur Magazine, are going to manufacture approximately 2,000 units.
