Thermal pattern analysis may indicate health status. A study found that higher right-channel thermal pattern similarity was linked to lower mental health perception in chiropractic students.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical science
  • Health informatics

Background:

  • Thermal pattern analysis is proposed as a health indicator.
  • Its clinical validity and correlation with perceived health require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the relationship between thermal pattern analysis and self-reported health perceptions.
  • To assess if thermal scan data correlates with SF-12 health survey scores.

Main Methods:

  • Sixty-eight chiropractic students underwent paraspinal thermal scans over three visits.
  • Thermal Pattern Calculator (TPC) assessed scan similarity (percent).
  • TPC percentages were compared with SF-12 health survey scores.

Main Results:

  • No significant findings were observed in the left or delta thermal channels.

  • A higher right-channel TPC percentage (≥70.8%) was associated with decreased mental health perception.

    • Conclusions:

    • Right-channel thermal pattern similarity may correlate with reduced mental health perception.
    • This preliminary study suggests a potential link, warranting further research with larger sample sizes.
