Boots’ thermometer allows you to take a person’s temperature without touching them. When held 5-8cm from their forehead and activated, it measures the intensity of the infrared energy they’re emitting to accurately calculate their body temperature. It stores up to 32 readings so you can easily track changes, the screen is colour-coded to tell from a glance if the temperature is abnormal and it turns off automatically to prolong battery life.
