Xiaomi IHealth Thermometer Review

The iHealth Thermometer, like most products from Xiaomi, looks laconic and modern. The case of white matte plastic is covered with a glass panel. The white color looks stylish. Also, it hides prints and scratches on the glass surface.

How does it work IHealth thermometer?

It uses infrared to measure the temperature 100 times in a second. Can any infrared sensor do that? No. In the Xiaomi iHealth thermometer is the German Heimann Theropile Sensor. By pointing the Xiaomi iHealth thermometer to your forehead and leave it there for 1 to 2 seconds, it will measure the temperature via the infrared sensor.

How accurate is the Xiaomi iHealth Thermometer?

This is always something I doubt when it comes to tech that is measuring something. Luckily the Xiaomi iHealth Thermometer has an FDA certificate for accuracy.

Xiaomi iHealth thermometer has a simple ergonomic shape. It’s amazing how the designers worked hard for the design of a cheap body thermometer. It has minimum elements on the case. Each part is created to help quickly and conveniently measure human temperature.

The device should be kept no more than 3 cm from the face and strictly to the bridge of the nose. When the button is pressed, the ambient temperature is correlated with the readings of the main sensor, then the display shows the body temperature. The process takes no more than a second and ends with a pleasant vibration gadget.

The thermometer measures temperatures in the range of 32 to 42 degrees. The accuracy is 0.2 degrees. In comparison with the mercury thermometer, the results of which were diverging by 0.1-0.2 degrees, there is no doubt about the accuracy of Xiaomi iHealth thermometer.

However, I think the gadget should have synchronization with a smartphone. Also, there is no built-in memory, and you can not look at past measurements. It would be convenient to save the information in the Health app.

This is a useful and must-have gadget at home, especially in families with small children. When a child falls asleep after drinking an antipyretic, it is necessary to control the temperature, to understand whether it falls or continues to grow.

How to work IHealth thermometer

Handheld Infrared Thermometers as Xiaomi iHealth are widely used throughout many work environments to determine surface temperature.

The Infrared thermometer was originally developed to measure the temperature of an object where a normal contact thermometer could not be used such as on a moving object, an object in a vacuum where time-sensitive readings are required or to measure the temperature of an object with limited access. Explaining the use of an infrared thermometer begins by defining what these devices measure to determine temperature—infrared radiation.

How is the IHealth thermometer used to determine temperature?


All matter emits energy in the form of heat. If there is a temperature difference between objects, including the surrounding environment, then this gradient can be measured and used. If the object in question is at the same temperature as its surroundings, the net radiation energy exchange will be zero.

Handheld infrared thermometers take advantage of this “radiation dependence” on temperature to produce a value for the targeted object and to display the results for the operator to read.
