Abstract

Noninvasive deep body thermometers were evaluated for continuous deep body temperature measurement.

  • Two types of thermometers, T_DHFM and ACT, were tested in daily healthcare settings.
  • The first study aimed to prevent heat stroke in extreme heat and humidity using CoreTemp and T_DHFM.
  • The second study monitored temperature in patients with spinal cord injuries using T_DHFM and ACT.
  • CoreTemp was used as a reference for assessing the performance of the other thermometers.
  • The findings suggest that selection of the appropriate method for measuring deep body temperature is necessary.
