Abstract
A wearable thermometer patch includes a substrate and a temperature probe unit mounted in the substrate and configured to measure temperature of a user's skin. The temperature probe unit includes a force sensor configured to measure contact force between the temperature probe unit and the user' skin, a plate, a first temperature sensor attached to a lower surface of the plate, and a second temperature sensor attached to an upper surface of the plate.
Claims14
A wearable thermometer patch, comprising:
- a substrate;
- a temperature probe unit mounted in the substrate and configured to measure temperature of a user's skin, wherein the temperature probe unit comprises:
- a thermally conductive cup having a bottom portion mounted in an opening of the substrate;
- a force sensor configured to measure contact force between the temperature probe unit and the user's skin;
- a plate;
- a first temperature sensor attached to a lower surface of the plate;
- and
- a second temperature sensor attached to an upper surface of the plate;
- a thermally-conductive adhesive attached to the temperature probe unit and configured to conduct heat between the temperature probe unit and the user's skin, wherein the thermally-conductive adhesive affixes the first temperature sensor, the second temperature sensor, and the plate to an inner surface of the thermally conductive cup;
- and
- an adhesive layer under the substrate, the adhesive layer configured to attach to human skin.
