Founded by Harvard research scientist Francesco Pompei, PhD., Exergen Corporation is the recognized world leader in industrial and medical non-invasive temperature technology. Exergen creates non-invasive temperature measurement devices providing lower cost, higher accuracy, less invasiveness, and greater reliability than ever previously possible. The Company created the first temporal artery thermometer – the Temporal Scanner ™, the most efficacious, non-invasive thermometer that takes a temperature in just two seconds. The Temporal Scanner gauges body temperature by capturing the naturally emitted heat from skin over the temporal artery, which runs across the forehead and is directly connected to the heart via the carotid artery. Exergen holds over 100 U.S. and foreign patents, and is the only manufacturer of retail medical thermometers in the U.S. Presently, 30% of hospitals and pediatricians use the Exergen Temporal Scanner, and well over 1 million consumers use one at home. MCRC has supported the rapid growth of the business with 3 separate investments.
