The described portable wireless device provides high-frequency, accurate, and reproducible body temperature monitoring with data logging and real-time capabilities.
May enable ambulatory high-resolution temperature tracking; leaves open clinical validation before cardiovascular use.
We describe a device for dual channel body temperature monitoring. The device can operate as a real time monitor or as a data logger, and has Bluetooth capabilities to enable for wireless data download to the computer used for data analysis. The proposed device is capable of sampling temperature at a rate of 1 sample per minute with a resolution of 0.01 °C . The internal memory allows for stand-alone data logging of up to 10 days. The device has a battery life of 50 hours in continuous real-time mode. In addition to describing the proposed device in detail, we report the results of a statistical analysis conducted to assess its accuracy and reproducibility.
