SARS
Close monitoring for SARS and other infectious diseases is critical if you are:
- a healthcare provider,
- traveling to SARS-infected areas,
- caring for someone who has any infectious disease, including SARS, or
- suspect you may have an infectious disease including SARS.
According to experts at the US Centers for Disease Control, the primary key to containing SARS and other infectious diseases is early detection. The earlier you or your doctor become aware of any change in your health, the sooner medical intervention can begin. And the key to the earliest possible detection is daily monitoring of your body's basal metabolism.
Start today. The earlier you begin to monitor and record vital health data, the more history you will have of the normal cyclical changes that occur naturally in your body. Use the PHDChart as you travel. Record your daily basal metabolic temperature (BMT) via the Internet from anywhere in the world. If you are concerned about a change in your basal temperature, which may indicate the presence of an infection, you can contact your physician to view your chart on the Internet within 120 seconds after you enter your data.
What will you need? The only equipment you will need is an inexpensive digital basal thermometer. A fever thermometer is not sensitive enough.
