“We are pleased to see the TemporalScanner making its way into popular culture, which is a reflection of the wide acceptance of Exergen’s groundbreaking innovation in medical care,” said Dr. Francesco Pompei, Exergen CEO. “Temporal artery thermometers are fast, easy to use and non-invasive, enabling medical professionals to accurately assess patients while ensuring a comfortable overall experience.”
Exergen was featured in episode 11, “Intervention,” during Chicago Med’s first season. Chicago Med, produced by Emmy Award-winning Dick Wolf, provides insight into the lives of the healthcare providers working at the city’s largest trauma center who use cutting edge technology and innovation to enhance patient lives.
