1.6 How does the Cadi.Sense work?
In the Cadi.Sense, skin temperature is measured at the lower abdomen by a wireless sensor
called the ThermoSensor. The readings are sent wirelessly every 30 seconds to a receiver
called the SmartNode and converted to an equivalent body temperature, which can be
viewed via WiFi from a mobile device such as a smartphone.
1.7 Fever and normal body temperature
The body temperature of a person depends on where it is measured, how it is measured,
when it is measured and how old the person is. In addition, the range of normal body
temperature varies from person to person. Different methods of measuring body temperature
generally give different readings and, therefore, different ranges of normal temperature.
Temperatures measured with the Cadi.Sense are on average higher than armpit (axillary)
temperatures but lower than ear temperatures*.
It is recommended that you determine your child’s normal temperature when measured
using the Cadi.Sense, by carrying out the measurement for at least 24 hours when the child is
healthy. As a reference, a Cadi.Sense temperature above 37.8°C may suggest that your
child has a fever. However, do not self-diagnose but do consult your doctor for medical
advice.
