"Google Unveils Innovative Body Temperature Thermometer and Circle Search Feature for Pixel Phones"
Google has detailed how the Pixel 8 Pro's thermometer, which can now measure body temperature, works. The device uses an infrared sensor and is swept across the forehead to the temple for accurate readings. It employs a wide field of view and laser detection autofocus to ensure contactless measurement and prevent the spread of germs. Clinical trials show it calculates temperature within a range of 96.9°F – 104°F (36.1°C – 40°C) to within ±0.3°C, and it has received FDA approval as a regulated medical device in the US.
