Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature

Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature

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,...

Optoelectronics
Wearable Technology
Biomedical Sensors

Background:

Accurate sensing of temperature and stretching is vital for healthcare and human-machine interaction.
Existing wearable sensors often face limitations in sensitivity, stability, or multi-modal sensing capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and compare single-mode fiber-based optical wearable systems for simultaneous temperature and stretching detection.
To evaluate the performance of single-layer versus dual-layer polymer designs for these sensing applications.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of balloon-shaped, single- and dual-polymer-layered optical wearables (PLOWs) using single-mode fiber.
Characterization of temperature sensitivity by measuring wavelength shifts with varying temperatures.
Assessment of stretching sensitivity under longitudinal and lateral strain conditions.

Main Results:

Dual-layer PLOWs demonstrated significantly higher temperature sensitivity (-1.39 nm/°C) compared to single-layer PLOWs (-0.18 nm/°C), attributed to the bipolymer's thermo-optic properties.
Single-layer PLOWs exhibited superior performance in both longitudinal and lateral stretching detection due to greater shape variability.
Both systems showed fast temporal response, high-temperature tolerance, and long-term stability.

Conclusions:

The developed PLOW systems offer promising capabilities for real-time monitoring of physiological parameters like skin temperature and pulse.
The choice between single- and dual-layer designs depends on the primary sensing requirement (stretching vs. temperature).
These optical wearables have broad potential applications in healthcare, robotics, and human-machine interfaces.
