What is Wrist Temperature?

Wrist temperature is the measurement of the skin surface temperature on your wrist, collected by smartwatches like the Apple Watch. In PeakWatch, we use this data to help you better understand and manage your health.

How Does the Apple Watch Measure Wrist Temperature?

The Apple Watch uses built-in infrared sensors to non-invasively measure the temperature of the skin on your wrist. These sensors can continuously collect temperature data and send it to PeakWatch for analysis and interpretation.

The Importance of Wrist Temperature

Wrist temperature can reflect the body's heat distribution and help monitor overall health. It is particularly useful for detecting fever, understanding metabolic changes, and assessing sleep quality.

Wrist Temperature Features in PeakWatch

In PeakWatch, wrist temperature data can help you:

  • Monitor Health: Continuous wrist temperature monitoring can help detect abnormal body temperature, enabling early identification of fevers and other health issues.
  • Evaluate Sleep Quality: Changes in wrist temperature are closely related to sleep states. By analyzing temperature fluctuations during the night, you can optimize your sleep habits and improve sleep quality.
  • Understand Metabolic Changes: Wrist temperature data can reflect the body's metabolic changes under different conditions, helping you better understand your physiological responses.

Normal Range of Wrist Temperature

Wrist temperature can vary depending on environmental conditions, physical activity, and individual physiology, typically ranging between 32°C and 36°C. Individual differences and varying conditions can lead to different temperature readings.
