Temperature Measurement Sites

3.2K
A thermometer measures body temperature. The common sites for measuring body temperature are the oral cavity, axillary region, temporal artery, and skin surface, such as the forehead, abdomen, and axilla. True core body temperature is assessed in the rectum, tympanic membrane, pulmonary artery, esophagus, and urinary bladder.
Oral: When assessing oral temperature, the thermometer tip should be placed under the tongue in the posterior sublingual pocket. It offers accurate readings and can be...

Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature

1.7K
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,...

  • Achieved fast response (8.5 s) and recovery (5.2 s) times between 25-50 °C.
  • The sensor maintained stable operation under 30% strain over 10,000 cycles, with a lamination-free fabrication process.

Conclusions:

  • The developed stretchable temperature sensor meets key requirements for wearable healthcare applications.
  • The lamination-free fabrication simplifies production and enhances reliability for unobtrusive health monitoring systems.
  • The wireless sensor array and smartphone application enable real-time temperature mapping and data visualization for improved patient care.
