Ingestible capsules offer a reliable method for measuring gastrointestinal temperature (Tgastrointestinal) in healthy adults. This systematic review establishes a normal resting Tgastrointestinal reference value of 37.13 ± 0.24°C.
Area of Science:
- Physiology
- Biomedical Engineering
- Environmental Health
Background:
- Climate change necessitates accurate body core temperature (Tcore) monitoring.
- Ingestible capsules provide a viable method for assessing Tcore via gastrointestinal temperature (Tgastrointestinal).
- This technology aids in preventing heat-related illnesses.
Conclusions:
- The mean resting Tgastrointestinal of 37.13 ± 0.24°C measured by ingestible capsules serves as a reference for healthy adults.
- Ingestible capsule technology is a valuable tool for monitoring Tgastrointestinal.
- Accurate temperature monitoring is crucial for managing health in a changing climate.

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,...
