Thermal cameras have a fairly long lifespan (over 8 years), and technologically, there are no major advances, so they do not become obsolete quickly (for example, we continue to use the cameras we bought in 2009 with the same 320×240 resolution that is sold today). Keywords: service life, durability, time
No, any SD or microSD card will work. Keywords: memory card, storage
First, check that the card lock is not activated. If everything is correct, it may be that the card is not reading the images even though it's not full. We recommend deleting some images or formatting the card directly. It also often happens that SD cards with high capacity (>16Gb) and high reading speed (>50MB/s) can cause problems. In other words, it is better to use cards with 4 or 8Gb capacity and basic characteristics. Keywords: memory card, storage
Producers recommend doing it every year or two. However, since we mainly work with asymmetries (relative measurements), calibration is not as necessary. Keywords: camera adjusted, recalibrate, reconfigure.

Annual unlimited rate (ideal for big institutions with a maximum of 3 cameras per license 25.000€ per year). Keywords: prices, tariffs, purchase options
Inside the software you have a "help" section with different manuals and tutorials. In addition, we recommend you to take our thermography certified online training course to understand in detail how to use and interpret thermography correctly (for health, prevention, fatigue, performance, etc.). You can see more information here: (https://education.thermohuman.com/courses/25). Keywords: learning, education, training
Absolutely not. ThermoHuman software offers descriptive and objective metrics and avatars to identify asymmetries and significant skin temperature changes: these may be related to pain, pathology, fatigue and other symptoms, but it is not a diagnostic tool. Keywords: diagnosis, patient, lesions
Our software is compatible with a multitude of cameras. In general the answer would be yes (as long as it is a thermal imaging camera). To know specifically your model and its compatibility, you can contact us or check it here in the compatibility section of our thermal imaging web site (Link: https://thermohuman.com/thermal-cameras/). Keywords: antique camera, compatibility

Yes, although we do not recommend it. If you purchase a ThermoHuman license, you will have access to documents and videos that explain how to use the software. However, the course allows you to learn not only how to use the software but also how to collect data, analyze it, and interpret it with a theoretical and practical understanding deep enough to make good use of it. Keywords: training, certificate, education
The ThermoHuman software allows for interpretation of thermal results through various functions and metrics. However, the interpretation should be done by a professional (regardless of their specialty). For this purpose, we recommend taking the online training course where we provide the necessary tools and basic knowledge to understand thermography, its applications based on specialty, and the use of the tool. Keywords: analysis, reports, results, conclusions
Yes, most cameras are compatible with a tripod for added convenience. Keywords: support, camera fixed, comfort
We recommend taking images with a tripod, especially when using the plug and play system (connecting the camera to the computer). However, it is true that if you are going to take several images of the upper and lower part of the body, in many occasions it may be faster to take the images with the camera in your hand. Remember that in these cases it is very important to square the image, place the camera in the correct orientation and at the correct height (legs at knee height and torso at chest height). Keywords: support, anchorage, comfort
The important thing is to acquire a tripod whose head or adjustment with the camera does not become defeated lateralizing the images. In that sense, we recommend tripods like these here (they don’t have to be the most expensive ones): https://www.amazon.es/Victiv-Aluminio-Giratorio-Desmontable-Liberaci%C3%B3n/dp/B09LHF7QVT/ref=sr_1_3?crid=15R2TSGR79PWV&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.F7Ph7lTawdwkMvQyL7GsvHWNKGEJknH1aJ65g_U2lZ7becIxCcWzzQRyUWHEpy2zHDT_vtmpbbDykC9sKLJPFY_AvK0zb2zYHcBuDR9GBze0fJ3o61x84CIFnmUiDNHSHyItGu-dHD2oalSFzzcKJNqeNyJmnYLEhYYLD7rOkIEfsUXDP7bH6KCUstAm7OSr61Wvhg2EUXE_khXuLAV88Wo1n_lxohoy-qvSlVibPaUxACKkJJGYlQgTfFu3vqrDXtEhFuzFWGjHW2o1iVPisLruwG8fBd0zOkM8A9mgos8.KWZE6LxdNMNga0yyCfWQdx4oBXeQllalJOGANMIkrh8&dib_tag=se&keywords=tripode&qid=1709892903&sprefix=tripode%2Caps%2C127&sr=8-3-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1
Yes, our software is fully compatible. The only thing you should know with Mac is that, for the moment, you won't be able to use the automatic controller (the "plug and play" function). Other than that, it works like any other operating system. Keywords: version, computer, PC
If we're talking about injury prevention, we recommend taking at least one photo per week the day after or two days after engaging in intense physical activity, such as a match or competition. This aims to assess how the body has assimilated the workload from the previous day or days during the night. If we're discussing injury monitoring, the photo should be taken before any treatment is administered to the patient, and it will be up to the operator to decide how often they want to monitor the patient based on the injury. Keywords: moment, time, ideal
No, we need the camera to be able to detect the temperature of the skin, so we need to remove the clothing to take the photo. Keywords: thermographic data, pictures, photos

If you are referring to the visible camera of your mobile phone, the answer is no: ThermoHuman only analyzes thermal photos. If, on the other hand, you are referring to thermal photos taken with a cell phone that has a thermal camera (such as CAT S60 or CAT S62 Pro) or that uses a FLIR ONE Pro (or FLIR ONE Edge Pro), these can be analyzed by ThermoHuman even though their resolution (160x120) is very low, and we recommend using images of at least 320x240 pixels. Keywords: camera, phone, mobile
Because it contains radiometric data (temperature data). Remember that a thermogram has colors and temperature data that are not visible, and those are what we analyze with ThermoHuman.
They are unchangeable data of the temperature of each pixel, which is why the ThermoHuman software and the quantitative method are not affected by the scale and its variations.
There are many factors that influence skin temperature (you can see this review published by us in 2015: (https://thermohuman.com/2020/05/08/thermography-and-influence-factors) and among them, ambient temperature is one of the most relevant. However, both this factor and many others have an equal influence on all regions, especially on contralateral ones: that is, they do not affect asymmetries. Nevertheless, both we and the protocols recommend taking data in controlled environments (from 18°C to 25°C) and conducting an acclimatization period of at least 10 minutes.
It depends on the camera you use and the protocol being analyzed. We recommend a camera with 42º lenses. With this type of lens, generic protocols (trunk or legs, anterior and/or posterior) require about 2.5 meters of distance. With lower lenses (for example, 24º), that distance can increase up to 4 meters. In specific protocols such as hands, chest, knees, or feet, the distance varies but is usually between 50cm and 1 meter (with 42º lenses). Also, remember that the distance depends on the height of the person: for example, if you are evaluating someone who is 1.50m tall, the distance will be shorter, and if they are 2.10m tall, the distance will be greater. This is because the logic is to frame the subject well, not to always take the image at the same distance.
Currently it is not possible to disable automatic downloading of images when the photo is taken with the camera connected, but if you accidentally close the browser tab or press the Back button or some unexpected error occurs, you will lose all the images added to the session. When the camera is connected to the PC it does not store images on the internal SD card, so we make sure that there is always a backup saved on the PC by downloading it. If this bothers you, it is probably because your browser has enabled the option to ask at each download where to store the file. In that case, the browser will do that every time a download is triggered, there is nothing we can do about it. You can configure your browser to skip this message every time a file is downloaded, so that the download does not interrupt your workflow. Go to your browser settings and uncheck the option to prompt on download. In Chrome it's in chrome://settings/downloads and in Firefox it's in about:preferences
Yes. You just need to import the images into the software by connecting the camera or memory card to the computer. In the software, you can drag the image into the corresponding protocol or search for it from your computer's files. There is no issue with the date of image capture (meaning, you can analyze images taken an hour ago, a week ago, or even months ago).

Not all lesions increase skin temperature detectable by thermography. While some lesions may cause an obvious increase in localized temperature in the affected area, others may have no detectable thermal changes or may even reduce skin temperature, depending on factors such as the depth of the lesion, the degree of inflammation and the physiological response of the body. For example, nerve-type and muscle discontinuity decrease skin temperature. The interpretation of thermographic images must consider the clinical context and other complementary tests to obtain an accurate diagnosis.
