Cold fingers is complaint of many people. To independently assess actual finger temperature, this paper uses prototype sensors to capture blood vessel width and blood flow rates. We verify their feasibility for future home healthcare use along with far infrared camera outputs. We elucidate the impact of three remedies, massage, hot cocoa, and shoulder exercises, on 7 subjects.
