Circulating Illness and Changes in Thermometer Use Behavior: Series of Cross-sectional Analyses

Circulating Illness and Changes in Thermometer Use Behavior: Series of Cross-sectional Analyses

Previous studies using smart thermometers have shown that the number of fevers and the total number of thermometer readings correlate with influenza-like illness at the national and regional levels during both influenza season [16,17] and offseason [16], and with influenza test positivity at the regional level [17]. Kinsa fever data were also found to be correlated with confirmed cases during the first wave of COVID-19 [19].

The Accuracy of Wrist Skin Temperature in Detecting Ovulation Compared to Basal Body Temperature: Prospective Comparative Diagnostic Accuracy Study

The Accuracy of Wrist Skin Temperature in Detecting Ovulation Compared to Basal Body Temperature: Prospective Comparative Diagnostic Accuracy Study

BBT was measured by Lady-Comp (Valley Electronics AG), which is a computerized fertility tracking device with a digital thermometer. The device includes a display panel that provides immediate temperature readings to its user. The participants measured their oral temperature using the device each morning immediately after waking up, before getting out of bed, and before starting any activity such as drinking water. BBT data were retrieved by connecting the device to a computer.

Mobile Health–Based Thermometer for Monitoring Wound Healing After Endovascular Therapy in Patients With Chronic Foot Ulcer: Prospective Cohort Study

Mobile Health–Based Thermometer for Monitoring Wound Healing After Endovascular Therapy in Patients With Chronic Foot Ulcer: Prospective Cohort Study

With the newest technology, however, a nanochip thermometer can be used to measure temperature in various places—solid objects, air, skin, etc—easily, rapidly, and accurately. Connecting nanotechnology to mobile health (m Health) is currently a trend for health monitoring and diagnosis to improve health care and optimize individualized medicine.

Considerations for an Access-Centered Design of the Fever Thermometer in Low-Resource Settings: A Literature Review

Considerations for an Access-Centered Design of the Fever Thermometer in Low-Resource Settings: A Literature Review

In fact, self-assessment has been shown to be inaccurate and unreliable when compared with the objective standard of rectal measurement of body temperature with a thermometer [31,38-40]. Introduction of a chemical thermometer (ie, forehead temperature strips), designed to be disposable after one-time use, made temperature recording easy and safe as an alternative method for assessment of fever in low-resource settings [41].
