From this article, this is worth noting:

Error Margin

Since both room temperature and core temperature readings have 1 oC resolution, we adopted a 2 oC error margin, meaning temperature differences below 2 oC are considered irrelevant.

(Just in case your like me and skip through to the graphs

lol)
