Key result
High-resolution thermistors successfully determine heart rate by measuring skin temperature fluctuations down to 0.1 mdegC.
Why the study?
A high-resolution temperature measurement system was developed to enable noninvasive determination of heart rate from skin temperature fluctuations near arteries.

Can a high-resolution temperature measurement system determine heart rate from skin temperature fluctuations?
A novel, inexpensive, and portable high-resolution temperature measurement system can noninvasively determine heart rate from skin temperature fluctuations.
Cuadras et al. (2006) studied this question. High-resolution temperature measurement system was evaluated on Determination of heart rate from temperature fluctuations. A high-resolution temperature measurement system based on thermistors successfully determined heart rate by measuring temperature fluctuations down to 0.1 mdegC on the skin near arteries.
