Evaluation of a Wearable Non-Invasive Thermometer for Monitoring Ear Canal Temperature during Physically Demanding (Outdoor) Work

Abstract: Aimed at preventing heat strain, health problems, and absenteeism among workers with physically demanding occupations, a continuous, accurate, non-invasive measuring system may help such workers monitor their body (core) temperature. The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy and explore the usability of the wearable non-invasive Cosinuss° °Temp thermometer. Ear canal temperature was monitored in 49 workers in real-life working conditions. After individual correction, the results of the laboratory and f… Show more

“…Although Cosinuss and reference ear thermometers both measure temperature from the inner ear, they use different technology in measuring body temperatures - Cosinuss makes contact inside the outer ear canal and the ear reference thermometer represents ear canal infrared thermometry [ 43 ].…”

“…The project SPRINT@Work is an EU-funded interdisciplinary project aimed at developing and evaluating sensor and intervention technologies that contribute to keeping ageing workers healthy and effectively employable (45,(50)(51)(52)(53)(54)(55)(56). These health-related technologies were developed and implemented by researchers and engineers from a variety of disciplines (cognitive neuroscience, information management, biomedical engineering and rehabilitation medicine, community and occupational medicine), in collaboration with companies.…”
