How to Measure Fever with an iPhone

Measuring body temperature is something that although it may indicate that we are sick, it is essential to do it as soon as there is a symptomatology. If you think of methods to measure this body temperature, the typical digital or mercury thermometer comes to mind. But over the years new accessories have emerged to be able to measure and record with our own iPhone.

Withings Thermo, the app that will help you with your fever

The perfect application to carry out automatic monitoring of body temperature is Withings Thermo, which connects to the accessory that we are going to discuss below via Bluetooth in order to have all the information synchronized. By including multiple profiles, each family member can access their complete history from the timeline to differentiate between different temperatures.

With the aim of being able to keep a record of the temperature and then report it to a toilet, Withings allows notes to be made next to each of the records. In this way you can be aware of the symptoms that accompany a possible low-grade fever. In the event that you have any physical symptoms such as a rash, you can also take a photograph to attach it to the chronology. It can be clearly said that it becomes a medical history of your disease.

To this we must add the reminder that we can program in a simple way to take our temperature regularly throughout the day. This is ideal when doing a comprehensive check to see the evolution of this symptomatology. This is something that can be recommended by a healthcare provider and is important to do, and with this app you will avoid forgetting.

Smart digital thermometer

In order to make this measurement in the most accurate way, Withings offers a very interesting smart thermometer that connects directly to the application. The accuracy of this thermometer is very good since it is endorsed by numerous organizations, and it has 16 infrared sensors capable of offering accurate results without the need for physical contact. The latter makes it a more hygienic product since at no time will it come into contact with body fluids. Thanks to the LED light that it has, it will warn us in the event that the temperature obtained is quite high or not, with a color scale from green to red.

As we have previously mentioned, thanks to the connectivity it has, it can be synchronized with the iOS or Android mobile through the application. This makes it possible to be used by many people within a family number, specifically 8 different users . The measurements are very fast since it is not necessary to wait a few minutes as it happens with the most classic thermometers.

The design of this thermometer that will end up communicating with the iPhone is quite good and it is certainly very portable thanks to its size. It is the ideal option to have at home and be used by all members if necessary.
