Description
CORE is the first wearable sensor that accurately measures core body temperature continuously and non-invasively. Athletes can benefit from both real-time monitoring and recording data for later analysis. Designed for athletes at all levels, CORE will help improve your training and competitive performance.
IMPORTANT: The CORE app is designed to work with the CORE device which you can order at www.corebodytemp.com
1. What does CORE do?
CORE helps you track a critical metric for sports performance: core body temperature. This is the interior temperature of the body – including organs and other tissues – which only changes due to physiological processes such as illness, intense activity, circadian cycles or ovulation.
Core body temperature rises when doing sports. It is common for some people to exceed 40°C (104°F) during high-intensity training and competition (values vary across individuals).
Above a certain threshold, an elevated core body temperature triggers the cooling mechanism in your body. This diverts blood flow away from power generating muscles and uses up to 70% of cardiac output for thermoregulation. This significantly impacts athletic performance, and in extreme situations can result in “blow-ups” or “meltdowns”.
CORE will help reveal your personal core body temperature threshold. This will help you to train to improve your response to heat and achieve the performance gains you are looking for. You can also use CORE to make better strategic decisions when competing.

CORE is being used by top cycling teams, triathletes and runners, who are implementing heat training and cooling strategies to get the performance edge they need to stand out. For more info about who’s using CORE, visit: https://corebodytemp.com/pages/who-is-using-core
2. Access your data at any time
CORE stores your data in the device and connects to the app to display it. The data is also pushed to a cloud solution, where you can view it and download it for further analysis. You can even use CORE when not carrying your phone. The data will be stored in the sensor, and you only need to sync it with the app to push all the data to your online account.
3. Why is CORE different from other solutions?
Prior to CORE, only invasive methods such as probes or ingestible e-pills were available. For the first time, CORE provides an accurate, continuous, non-invasive solution for monitoring core body temperature, regardless of the activity and environment. CORE’s measurement of core body temperature is accurate to within 0.21°C.
4. How does it work?
The CORE device clips onto your heart-rate monitor belt or sports bra. It can also be worn using the specially designed patches . For best results, wear CORE on the same side as your Garmin or Wahoo device.
CORE supports ANT+ and works with Garmin, Hammerhead, Wahoo, Suunto, COROS, AppleWatch, Navihood, wearOS, and many other platforms. Check the full list in out page: https://corebodytemp.com/pages/connectivity-of-the-core-sensor

Ratings and Reviews
Great start, needs to continue progression.
The app could use some work for ease of use. The data is a little difficult for the non sports pro to understand. Despite not being for medical use, I am using the device to monitor body temperature to see how well my body is regulating temperature since some illnesses cause difficulty with body temp regulation. For that reason, many of the biometrics are of little to no use since I’m not training, but monitoring. My biggest issue is that I cannot sync data with Apple Health—only with my Apple Watch. Additionally, my iWatch has a heart monitor, and I keep it set to continuously monitor, the Core device does not recognize that device data. I am, however, really, really pleased with the temperature monitoring and the device—but would love to see some other functions and compatibility introduced in the app.
Device works well - connects to my Wahoo device. App adequate.
The device itself works well and certainly gives a pretty good/accurate idea of body core body temperature. I bike in western Colorado - hot and dry in summer and great climbs. I can see where my body temperature is climbing - hot - and what it settles down to when not climbing. Useful i am better at hydrating using this device. I can see my body temperature on my Wahoo unit (the Wahoo unit automatically converts to degrees Fahrenheit) while biking (along with speed, heart rate, watts power, cadence, and when I am using a Supersapiens patch, blood glucose). The app is ok. It has a section to customize whether you want to see temperature readings in degrees centigrade or fahrenheit but I have never been able to make it change. That the Wahoo unit does that makes it nice for when I am actually raising body temperature. The device is good the app adequate - if you like to keep track of your numbers this is another somewhat magical device to give you body temperature reading.
Won’t change from Celsius to Fahrenheit
App works ok, wish that there was more information about how to use the device in the app, and that you could export a record of your temperature. But the fact that there is an option in the settings to change from Celsius to Fahrenheit and that the option does nothing is oddly upsetting. Wish it worked.
