Wearable thermometer for continuous core body temperature monitoring in different airflow conditions

AI simplified

Abstract

The accuracy of core body temperature measurements using the wearable thermometer is 0.1°C for convective values ranging from 0 to 1.2 m/s.

  • The thermometer estimates core body temperature by measuring heat flow from the body core.
  • Ambient conditions, such as air movement and posture, can impact the accuracy of temperature readings.
  • The sensor interface was designed to remain effective despite variations in convective conditions.
  • In vitro experiments showed promising accuracy, while preliminary in vivo results suggest potential for real-world applications.
