Skin temperature
What is body temperature?
Core body temperature refers to the temperature within your body, which is measured and tends to be relatively stable with less variability compared to your skin temperature.
How do I see my skin temp ?
Today GEMA measures only the skin temperature variation, the graph you can see, reflect your body temperature.
Weekly Skin Temperature Summary
What causes fluctuations in my core temperature?
- Ovulation – Core temperature generally increases during ovulation (source).
- Time of day – Core temperature tends to be lower in the morning and increases in the late afternoon and evening (source).
- Sleep – Core temperature typically decreases during sleep (source).
- Fever – Core temperature usually rises when the body is combating an infection, leading to the development of a fever (source).
It’s important to note that the accuracy of temperature measurement can be influenced by the method used. For guidance on how to enhance the accuracy of temperature readings, refer to mayoclinic.org.
What is skin temperature?
Skin temperature refers to the temperature at the surface of the skin, and it tends to fluctuate more than your core temperature. This is because regulating the skin temperature is one of the ways the body maintains overall temperature stability. GEMA utilizes a sensor to approximate your individual baseline skin temperature. we record every hour your skin temperature, you can observe how your skin temperature evolve during the day and compares to your established baseline. It’s important to note that this information is presented as your skin temperature variation, indicating whether your skin temperature was above or below your personal baseline.
How does GEMA calculate my baseline temperature?
Each individual has a unique temperature baseline. By using a GEMA device during the day, it regularly monitors your skin temperature, one time per hour. Once duoveo’s app accumulates sufficient data of your skin temperature value, it calculates an estimate for your individual baseline temperature. This estimation can be reseted at any time.
Why does my skin temperature vary?
The temperature of the skin often fluctuates during the day, influenced by factors such as variations in room temperature, outside temperature, how tied your wear GEMA, circadian rhythm, menstrual cycle, or the presence of a fever. It’s important to be aware that substantial changes in the surrounding temperature can potentially affect the accurate tracking of skin temperature.
Steps - Calories - Distances- Floors
GEMA can measure your steps, calories, distances and floors as well can determine if you Walk or Run.
How does GEMA identify the type of activity?
GEMA can recognize via its software and data received by the accelerometer, multiple activities and report as example if you walk or run.
How does GEMA calculate steps?
GEMA devices integrates a 3-axis accelerometer to count your steps. This sensor also allows your device to determine the frequency, duration, intensity, and patterns of your movement. We use CSEM as a partner : www.CSEM.ch. Their solution allows us to provide a high performance solution.
How does GEMA remove faulty steps?
GEMA algo integrates three core algorithms to establish the type of step you perform, their names are WALK, RUN and OTHERS (fault steps). The last one counts all the movement that cannot be considered as a Walk or a Run. Our current implementation will return only your effective Walk and Run for the day.
How does GEMA calculate calorie?
GEMA devices integrate your basal metabolic rate (BMR)—the rate at which you naturally burn calories to sustain essential bodily functions like breathing, blood circulation, and heartbeat—with your activity data to provide an estimate of your overall calories burned. In cases where your device monitors heart rate, this data is specifically incorporated, particularly for estimating calories burned during exercise. The displayed figure on your GEMA device reflects the total calories burned throughout the day.
How does GEMA calculate the distance?
GEMA calculates the distance based on your height and age and sex. Those parameters have been transferred to the device to calculate the distance you cover during your day.
How does GEMA calculate floor?
GEMA integrate a precise pressure sensor to calculate the floor you climb during the day. It is active only when you walk or run for a certain time, at least 3mn. If you climb stair within your house we can’t take them in account. We establish that for every 2.5m or 8.2 Feet.
How to wear GEMA to make sure I record my daily activity correctly?
- make sure you wear you GEMA correctly on your wrist, not too loose this will affect your value you get
- Make sure all information asked like age, weight, gender, height are correct. Those information are confidential look at our privacy policy for more information.
- to update your data, select you logo on the right top of you display. All your personal information are editable here.
Can I set up goals ?
You can define for each category the goal you want to compare and see how you perform against them?
Can I erase my data?
You cannot, all the data are recorded and cannot be erased.
Sleep
What do we measure and why?
This feature is designed to assess various aspects of your sleep, including the duration, consistency of bedtime and waking up, and the overall quality of your sleep. GEMA lacks the capability to precisely determine when you fall asleep or wake up. The results provided aim to offer insights into your sleep habits rather than pinpointing specific sleep onset and wake-up times.
Sleep time factor?
The sleep time factor represents the consistency of the duration of your sleep. A factor of 100 will tell you that you sleep duration is very good. It’s problematic, not only because having a misaligned body clock and sleep schedule on a day-to-day basis can result in poor sleep quality (and you not getting the sleep you need), but over time, that misalignment has been found to be linked to several chronic health problems, such as sleep disorders, obesity, ….
How those indexes work?
There are 3 indexes, the bed time and wake up represents the consistency of your schedule for your sleep. higher value indicated a good regularity . The Quality index represents how good was your sleep.
What happen if i don't wear GEMA during the night?
If you don’t wear GEMA during your sleep, you won’t get any report about your sleep with the app.
What else do we measure for the sleep time ?
GEMA measures your daily sleep time. You can retrieve how long your sleep per night. We use the accelerometer and the temp sensor to estimate your sleep time. You may find days where we can’t estimate the sleep time. This could be due if you don’t wear the device or we can’t determine precisely your bed time and wake up time.
Wellness Index
Why do we introduce the Wellness Index?
Indeed, the sheer volume of data generated by wellness and fitness tracking devices can be overwhelming. While raw numbers like step counts and calorie burn are interesting, they might not provide a comprehensive picture of your overall activities. To make sense of the data and derive meaningful insights, we created this concept.
Why only one index ?
This is an important point, this is the first index which will translate all your exercises like walk, running, biking ,etc into a single value. In the course of the development of our product line, more index will be added. Wellness is a multi-faceted concept, and no single metric can capture it entirely. It’s essential to approach the data with a holistic mindset, combining quantitative information with qualitative aspects of your well-being.
How do you calculate it?
The wellness index calculation considers all the exercises you engage in over the course of a week. While daily activities are crucial, assessing your weekly activity provides a more comprehensive overview of your overall level of activity. We also factor in and compare your activity against recommended guidelines to determine whether you meet the sufficient exercise criteria. The primary goal is to provide you with an indication of whether your exercise level is adequate.
why do we have 4 levels for body shape and conditions?
Individual differences are significant, and it’s essential to consider your current physical condition when determining your wellness index. Someone in excellent shape is expected to engage in more physical activity than others, acknowledging and accommodating these variations.
Why are the other three indicators P, C and E
The three additional indicators, namely P, C, and E, are intricately connected to our wellness index. P reflects your progression, C assesses the consistency of your efforts week by week, and E monitors the progression of your index within the current week. These indicators collectively contribute to validating whether you are on track to achieve your wellness goals.
