We propose a battery-free temperature monitoring device that can be fitted inside the ear for an accurate body temperature measurement of a subject. The proposed application consists of 2 primary systems: (i) a battery-free temperature sensing Ultra High Frequency Radio Frequency Identification (UHF RFID) sensory tag and (ii), an auxiliary energy harvesting system, which enhances the sensing device's measurement accuracy and precision. The system can record changes in the localized body temperature of authenticated users with an average latency of 501ms. The assembly demonstrated a temperature average accuracy of ± 0.14 °C operating at 866 MHz. The system performance demonstrated high stability and repeatability of reported temperature measurements. The device's dimension is a form factor that can easily fit in a front shirt pocket, with a wire tethered earbud temperature sensor. The system is developed to make sensor measurements without requiring a battery for the device. Measurements are made remotely as users pass by checkpoints installed throughout a building. The device is a cost-effective solution for monitoring body temperature in work environments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
