"Understanding the Pixel 8 Pro's FDA-Cleared Body Temperature Sensor"
Google's Pixel 8 Pro now features an FDA-cleared body temperature sensor, allowing users to measure body temperatures with a margin of error of ±0.54°F. The sensor, originally intended for object temperature readings, can now be used for body temperature measurements by pointing the phone's rear camera at the forehead and sweeping across it. The phone provides haptic and audio cues to ensure accurate readings and is the first smartphone to receive FDA De Novo classification for a body temperature sensing app.
