not a real HA topic, but is there any good way to track body temperature? In case someone is ill and have fever, do we have decent sensor to measure body temperature? I would like to make a strap on/wearable device (doesn't need to be portable) that could be used in case virus hits someone hard and you stay in the bed. Unfortunately it is easier to make diy ECG than body temp sensor.
Am I stupid? Also... where is a decent point to attach such a device for prolonged period of time? I doubt one want to spend whole day with sensor inside mouth...
Edit: sensor I mean sensor module for DIY sensor for arduino/ESPhome.
I had heat stroke at a marathon last year, so I want to take whatever precaution I can to prevent that from happening again. I'm familiar with all the early symptoms of heat stroke, as well as all the standard ways to prevent it.
But I'm looking for a good device to monitor body temp while running to help me detect when I'm getting near the danger zone. Anyone have any good suggestions? Anyone have good experience with the Core sensor or hDrop or anything other device for this purpose? Being able to see my body temp on my Garmin watch would be a big plus.
Those of you who bought a core temperature sensor, was it worth it? If you dont want to use it for heat training specifically, is it useful for general training as well? Like can you wait till your body body has cooled down again between efforts and improve training quality that way or stuff like that? Especially on the trainer where heat is generally an issue.
Also the only company I know of that makes a sensor is greenTEG and it costs 280€. Thats a hell of a lot for a freakin thermometer with a bluetooth/ANT+ function. Hopefully some asian company realizes that they can make a bit of money and comes up with a cheaper option to sell on aliexpress.
