Speaking of modern people's physical examination methods, it can be summarized by two states, one is that as long as I do not physically examine, I am not sick, and the other is to search for a random way in the software and feel that I have advanced cancer.

Talk about physical examination discoloration, talk about health language plugs... This seems to have become a common problem for many people, and the reason for this may be because the process of physical examination is too cumbersome, or it may be because health is too difficult to be "seen".
In today's article
In the popular science film, Jiguojun invited Kong Bo, deputy chief physician of cardiovascular surgery of Beijing Top 3 Hospital, to do a period of interesting science popularization, leading everyone to understand the new health management method. Poke the video to raise a wave of knowledge ~
Once upon a time, we simply thought that as long as the body temperature was within a certain safe range, it was normal, but this was not the case.
On March 14, Nature Metabolism published a paper showing that body temperature will have a certain impact on the length of life, and reducing body temperature is conducive to delaying aging and prolonging life.
In addition, the sports community and the medical community have also confirmed that there is a certain relationship between metabolism and body temperature. There are even papers that show that for every degree of temperature increase, the metabolic rate increases by 10%-13%.

In addition, body temperature and immunity are also very closely related. The National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) paper mentions that the higher the body temperature within a certain normal range, the faster the body activates its key defense systems against cancer, wounds and infections.
In addition to the above theoretical research, in real life, body temperature is also an important "safety table". For example, when the body is infected with inflammation, the body temperature will be higher than normal, and when encountering inflammatory infection or disease, our body may have repeated low-fever and low-fever conditions.
(Hyperthyroidism, anemia, connective tissue disease, streptococcal infection, acute pancreatitis, chronic nephritis, chronic sinusitis, etc. may all have symptoms of low-grade fever and low-grade fever, and some diseases may even have repeated low-grade fever)
Or, encountering extremely cold and overheated environments during exercise may lead to insensitive loss of temperature or heat stroke, and even pose a threat to life in severe cases. It can be seen that body temperature, as one of the four major vital signs, not only needs passive measurement in the current special era, but also needs to be actively concerned and monitored by us.
Talking about this, the problem comes again -
From its birth to the present, temperature measurement equipment has experienced many innovations and developments, and now people can even use a lot of intelligent temperature measurement tools to check the physical condition.
For example, in recent years, temperature measurement watches and temperature measuring mobile phones have begun to appear on people's wrists and pockets, which greatly facilitates daily body temperature detection.
For example, the development of smart devices to 2022, there have been technology manufacturers launched the world's first true wireless temperature measurement headphones - Honor Earbuds 3 Pro.
Oh, it looks like this.
Let's first understand its internal structure and principle
By having a high-precision contact temperature sensor built into the headset, the Honor Earbuds 3 Pro can directly measure the temperature of the air in our ear canal and the temperature of the ear skin, and calculate the temperature of the eardrum through AI algorithms, providing us with the results closest to the core temperature.
Here it is necessary to insert a "temperature measurement knowledge" - the temperature of the ear eardrum is very close to the core temperature of the human body, because the eardrum and the human body temperature regulation center hypothalamic blood circuit are homologous, so many products are measured against the temperature of the eardrum.
In order to actually verify its temperature measurement effect, Jiguojun also conducted a small test, convened 5 small partners to use headphones and electronic thermometers to measure temperature, and then compared the measured results.
The measured effect shows that in the five sets of tests, the temperature reading error of the Honor Earthbuds 3 Pro is controlled within 0.3 °C. It can be seen that the accuracy of the headphone temperature measurement is not bad.
Compared to accuracy, Jiguojun prefers its convenience. After wearing it, you only need to tap three times to receive a voice broadcast after 5 minutes and get your body temperature value.
If worn all the time, the headset can also continuously monitor body temperature changes and form dynamic wave data to customize our own body temperature map.
Over the long term, these measured body temperature data will also serve as a valuable material to help us achieve long-term health management.
For many diseases, hospital instruments can only detect what they look like when they are formed. So how can you monitor your health as early as possible and prevent problems before they occur?
The ideal answer at present should be smart devices. The coordinated use of mobile phones, watches, and headphones makes it possible to manage health with zero burden, zero interruption, and zero sense of operation.
In the fast-paced, high-load situation, the annual physical examination can no longer meet our health requirements. Doing a "micro-physical examination" for yourself anytime, anywhere, may be a better choice.
