Structural Optimization of a Wearable Deep Body Thermometer: From Theoretical Simulation to Experimental Verification

Deep body temperature (DBT) has yet to be measured continuously in everyday life, even though it is useful in physiological monitoring and chronobiology studies. We tried to address this issue by developing a transcutaneous thermometer based on the dual-heat-flux method (DHFM) invoking the principle...
