7.1.6. Temperature
Body temperature depends upon the place in the body at which the measurement is made, and the time of day
and level of activity of the person. Dierent parts of the body have dierent temperatures.
The commonly accepted average core body temperature (taken internally) is 37.0°C (98.6°F). In healthy adults, body
temperature uctuates about 0.5°C (0.9°F) throughout the day, with lower temperatures in the morning and higher
temperatures in the late afternoon and evening, as the body's needs and activities change.

It is of great medical importance to measure body temperature. The reason is that a number of diseases are
accompanied by characteristic changes in body temperature. Likewise, the course of certain diseases can be
monitored by measuring body temperature, and the eciency of a treatment initiated can be evaluated by the
physician.
Hypothermia <35.0 °C (95.0 °F)
Normal 36.5–37.5 °C (97.7–99.5 °F)
Fever or Hyperthermia >37.5–38.3 °C (99.5–100.9 °F)
Hyperpyrexia >40.0–41.5 °C (104–106.7 °F)
The sensor needs to be connected to the specic Temperature jack connector in MySignals board and it works
with direct connector power supply.
