Patient skin temperature monitor over internet of things

Abstract

Skin temperature monitoring is not the accurate way for measuring Core Body Temperature, as it varies according to ambient temperature, but still gives a fair estimate of Body Core Temperature. Body temperature can be measured from many locations on your body. The mouth, ear, armpit, and rectum are the most commonly used places. Temperature can also be measured on your forehead. An abnormally low body temperature (hypothermia) can be serious, even life-threatening. Low body temperature may occur from cold exposure, shock, alcohol or drug abuse. Keeping in mind the importance of measuring the body temperature, we need to be precise over this activity.1
