Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature

1.4K
Body temperature can be assessed using various devices and measured in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Glass-bulb Thermometer:
Glass-bulb thermometers are hollow glass tubes with a bulb tip containing liquid such as ethanol or mercury. Historically, glass bulb mercury thermometers were the standard device to measure body temperature. Today, mercury thermometers are prohibited in many countries due to the hazardous effects of mercury and the risk of exposure if the glass bulb breaks. In general,...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Materials Science
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • Wearable biosensors offer non-invasive health monitoring, but few analyze sweat.
  • Electronic textiles (e-textiles) present opportunities for flexible, integrated biosensing.
  • Challenges exist in e-textile sweat biosensor development, including material production and data acquisition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel wearable electrochemical sweat biosensor for detecting key physiological markers.
  • To integrate the biosensor into a functional headband for wireless data transmission.
  • To validate the sensor's performance in detecting lactate and sodium during physical activity.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a biosensor using conductive threads decorated with zinc-oxide nanowires (ZnO NWs).
  • Integration of signal readout and wireless data communication circuits into a wearable headband.
  • Electrochemical detection of lactate and sodium in human sweat samples and during on-body exercise tests.

Main Results:

  • The biosensor demonstrated linear detection ranges for lactate (0-25 mM) and sodium (0.1-100 mM).
  • Achieved limits of detection were 3.61 mM for lactate and 0.16 mM for sodium, within clinically relevant ranges.
  • Accurate and robust on-body measurements were confirmed during exercise, showing good agreement with standard tests.

Conclusions:

  • The developed e-textile biosensor enables accurate, wireless sweat analysis for health monitoring.
  • This technology holds promise for continuous physiological status prediction and early illness detection.
  • The wearable headband design facilitates unobtrusive and practical application during daily activities and exercise.
