Core body temperature (CBT) falls under the list of vitals that must be closely monitored in many settings, such as a patient going through surgery or a soldier in the battlefield. Although the importance is major, there are not many devices that can do this remotely and non-invasively. Our project designed a wearable device that can noninvasively monitor CBT based on the Dual-Heat Flux Method (DHFM). The device is able to communicate wirelessly with a personal computer through Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). This wireless and low power device is able to monitor the CBT of a person whether they are moving, sitting, or lying down over long periods of time.
