We tend to think of ‘normal' body temperature as being around 37°C (98.6°F), and while this can vary slightly, it's fairly accurate in most cases. Maintaining this temperature at a constant level is important to ensure effective operation of the brain, vital organs and main arteries. Any significant rise in temperature usually indicates that the body's immune system is defending itself against intruders, such as aggressive bacteria or viruses. Once the presence of a fever has been established appropriate steps can quickly be taken to identify and eliminate the cause of the problem.

Monitoring fever in an early stage will allow responding quick and actively to sickness. OMRON pays the highest attention to the development of functional and accurate fever monitoring tools.
