this needs to be body temperature tracking not just temperature tracking because ambient environment temperature tracking
Body temperature needs to be split into core and periferal
Because some devices measure pripheral instead of core (oura ring) and because bodys ability ot compensate for temperature differences may mean something interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_temperature Although it is not a clear indicator of internal body temperature, skin temperature is significant in assessing the healthy function of skin.[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_body_temperature#Core_temperature Since catheters are highly invasive, the generally accepted alternative for measuring core body temperature is through rectal measurements.
