What it is
Body temperature is one of the basic vital signs used to describe the body state at a point in time.[1]
Why it matters
Temperature changes can appear in infection, inflammation, environmental exposure, endocrine context, medication context, and ordinary daily variation.[1]
What it affects
- It is usually interpreted alongside pulse, breathing rate, blood pressure, symptoms, age, and setting.[1]
- It is a state signal, not a standalone diagnosis.[1]
Interpretation traps
- Single readings can be affected by measurement site, device, timing, and environment.[1]
- BioConst does not use temperature to triage symptoms or diagnose infection.[1]
