Is the temperature visualized with Thermofocus the same as the one taken with other thermometers and in other parts of the body?
The temperature taken with Thermofocus is normally very similar, but not necessarily equal, to the temperature taken with other thermometers in other parts of the body. Following the dissipation of heat that the non-protected parts of the body undergo, the normal temperature that can be taken on a person’s forehead is usually lower than the one of other covered parts. For this reason, Thermofocus’ internal software automatically applies a correction to give a value that is approximately comparable to the oral temperature. This correction is statistically calculated on a series of around ten thousand measurements. But, as the differences between the temperatures in the different areas of the body (axillary, oral, rectal, auricolar) are not stable, but vary from person to person, so do the differences between the temperatures on the forehead and the one in other areas of the body, which are peculiar of every person. It is thus normal that the two temperatures can differ of 5 or 6 tenth o
