[2025-09-25T12:37:38.864183] [PI reasoning] **Exploring hot flash measurement**

I'm thinking about a study titled "Sternal skin conductance: a reasonable surrogate for hot flash measurement?" It seems like it might compare the device to self-report diaries. I remember Freedman's assertion that sternal skin conductance is a gold standard in hot flash biology, but some authors question its accuracy. Another Freedman article validated the skin conductance method. This question might fall under a yes/no/maybe categorization from PubMedQA, suggesting that while it's promising, it's not perfect. So, "maybe" feels fitting.
