Measuring body temperature can be useful to do ovulatory cycle tracking, seeing signs of fevers but can also be used as a general measurement of recovery. An increasing number of wearables include temperature sensors to measure the skin temperature as a proxy for core body temperature.

Devices that measure temperature

A variety of devices exist to take body temperature, including regular thermometers, smart thermometers that connect to mobile apps to wearable devices. A list of devices that people in the personal science community have used include:

• Kinsa Smart Thermometers
• iButton temperature loggers
• Oura Ring
• Fitbits

Projects that included temperature tracking

Recordings of body temperature have been used in a number of projects:

• Azure Grant tracked her body temperature with an iButton for nearly a year to record ovulatory cycles
• Ilyse Magy used temperature tracking in the app Kindara to record data on menstural cycle
