The TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor application proactively monitors anumber of system functions such as power consumption, battery health and the system cooling, informing you of significant system conditions. This application recognizes the system and individual component serialnumbers, and will track specific activities related to the computer and theirusage.

The collected information includes device operation time and number ofactuations or status changes (i.e.: number of power button and FN key combination uses, AC adapter, battery, LCD, fan, HDD/SSD, sound volume, wireless communication functionalities and USB information), dateof initial system use, and also computer and device usage (i.e.: power settings, battery temperature and recharging, CPU, memory, backlight illumination time, and temperatures for various devices).
