Why is my reading different from a thermometer in the hospital?
Within the delta: two working thermometers can read slightly differently, especially across measuring sites, and small differences are expected. Outside the delta: repeat the reading using the accuracy tips (clean, dry forehead, 30 minutes after a bath or meal, stable room), and if it still differs, contact Owlet Support.
