# What does skin temperature measure?

## Follow the temperature trend over time for a safer and more comprehensive picture.

Skin temperature provides an indication of your child's temperature development, and can help you see whether your child is getting warmer or cooler over time. When you follow the curve in the app, you get a calmer and more comprehensive picture than with individual measurements alone. In the event of major changes in temperature or restlessness in your child, you should always consider feeling it yourself and follow the usual advice for monitoring your child's general condition.
