Can you measure your health?
Most people probably have a fever thermometer and a scale at home, but there are more products to "measure your health with.".
Braun ThermoScan 7 is a digital ear thermometer for the whole family, which is quick and easy to use. It features Age Precision – a color-coded display that helps interpret the temperature for different ages. The temperature is displayed with the same numbers regardless of which of the three modes (0-3 months, 3-36 months, +36 months) is used, but whether the number corresponds to ”green” or ”red” may vary depending on the age.
The thermometer has a preheated tip to provide a more accurate result. The memory stores the last nine measurements, making it easier to follow the temperature trend.
21 disposable lens filters – which reduce the risk of bacterial transmission – are included and more can of course be purchased.
Braun explains why the temperature is measured in the ear: An ear thermometer measures the infrared heat emitted by the eardrum and ear tissues. Measuring the temperature in the ear is a good way to reflect the body's core temperature because the eardrum shares blood circulation with the control center in the brain, the hypothalamus. Therefore, changes in body temperature are reflected earlier and more accurately in the ear than in other places.
Blood pressure monitor
Braun ExactFit 3 is an automatic blood pressure monitor used on the upper arm, which makes it easy to monitor your blood pressure on your own. The blood pressure monitor is clinically proven according to the European Society of Hypertension method. The monitor uses a soft inflation technology for a comfortable measurement, making it a good choice for those who need to take regular measurements. The blood pressure monitor has two cuff sizes to choose from for the best fit and to provide the most accurate reading possible.
A color-coded blood pressure indicator allows you to quickly interpret your results, and it also shows the average of the last three measurements. The monitor can store up to 80 measurements for two individual users (2 x 40).
Pulse oximeter
Braun pulse oximeter 1 is a blood oxygen meter that is clamped onto the finger and measures oxygen saturation (%SpO2), pulse and pulse amplitude in a simple and painless way.
Weights
OBH Nordica Fitness Tracker BMI Scale is the name of a personal scale that in addition to weight also measures BMI and fat mass, and you can save up to eight user profiles. The scale has a 100 g interval and a maximum weight of 150 kg.
OBH Nordica also has a more environmentally friendly scale in its range, as it uses battery-free technology, called Dynamo Press. Pressing the button gives one minute of weighing time.
