Purpose : The presence and degree of fever in children is a useful indicator of illness. This project aimed to assess the accuracy and usefulness of infrared tympanic membrane(TM) & forehead feverscan thermometers for measuring children's temperatures. Methods : Data were obtained from 1,050 children with a median age of 4.5 years. They visited the pediatric clinics at Chung-Ang University Yongsan Hospital from January 2004 to December 2004. We measured body temperatures at axilla by mercury thermometer, at ear by infrared TM thermometer and at forehead by feverscan. Then we analyzed the correlation between these data. Results : Mercury and TM thermometer, and Mercury and forehead feverscan thermometer very well correlated with each others(P<0.05). And the sensitivity of infrared TM thermometer(right and left) to correctly identify febrile children was 81.1 percent and 82.4 percent, the positive predictive value to detect a fever was 81.8 percent and 73.6 percent. The sensitivity of forehead feverscan was 83.3 percent and the positive predictive value was 74.4 percent. Conclusion : The tympanic membrane temperature measured by the BRAUN IRT $3020^{(R)}$ and forehead arterial temperature measured by the HubDIC $DOTORY^{(R)}$ feverscan accurately reflects mercury axillary temperature, validly assesses the presence of fever in children, and is easy to use. The Braun IRT $3020^{(R)}$ & HubDIC $DOTORY^{(R)}$ therefore is an adequate tool to assess fever and may be used both in a clinical setting and for research purposes.

The body temperature of livestock is directly related to the health of livestock such that it changes immediately when there exists health problem. Accordingly, the monitoring of livestock's temperature is one of most important tasks in farm management. However, the temperature of livestock is usually measured using skin-attached sensor which is significantly affected by the outside temperature and the condition of attachment which results in the inaccurate measurement of temperature. Herein we have proposed new scheme which estimates the body core temperature of cow based on measured data from neck-attached smart sensor. Especially, we have considered both schemes which estimate the exact temperature and which detect the unusually high temperature based on machine learning. We have found that the occurrence of high temperature can be detected accurately. The proposed scheme can be used in monitoring of health condition of cow and improving the efficiency of farm management.

체온은 가장 기본적인 진단 정보로써 여러 가지 생리 변화를 반영하는 지표이므로 거의 모든 질환에 대해 반드시 측정하도록 되어있다. 그러므로 체온을 정확하고 빠르게 측정하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 논문은 복합형 체온측정 시스템의 개발에 목적이 있다. 즉, 하나의 복합 시스템으로 고막과 이마에서의 체온을 측정하려고 한다. 개발 결과, 이 시스템은 IR 센서를 사용한 비접촉식 방식이며 빠른 응답시간과 $0.2^{\circ}C$의 정밀도를 가지고 있다. 또한 체온 측정을 위한 주변온도 보상을 고려하여 온도 측정의 정확도를 높였다.

본 논문에서는 비접촉식 적외선 온도센서와 nRF52832를 이용한 체온 관리 플랫폼을 제안한다. 코로나와 같이 전염성이 강한 경우에는 사람 간의 접촉이 최소한으로 이루어져야 하기 때문에, 코로나의 전염 여부 및 예방을 위해서는 접촉을 하지 않으면서 정확한 체온 측정과 제계적인 체온정보의 관리가 요구된다. 그러므로, 본 논문에서는 비접촉 적외선 온도센서를 기반으로 한 체온계와 측정한 체온 정보를 바로 확인할 수 있는 스마트폰 앱을 개발한다. 또한, 서버를 구축하여 측정한 체온 정보를 체계적으로 관리한다. 추가로, 스마트폰 앱은 고유의 QR 코드를 생성하여 신원 확인 및 보안에 대해 정확성과 신뢰성을 확보할 수 있다. 제안한 시스템을 통해 코로나와 같은 전염병이 확산되는 것을 막는데 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다.

사람의 신체 활동이 가장 원활하고 건강하게 이루어지는 최적의 체온은 $36.5^{\circ}C$에서 $37.1^{\circ}C$이다. 그리고 이 체온을 유지하기 위해서는 적절란 운동, 따뜻한 음식을 먹는 식사습관, 질 좋은 수면이 요구된다. 이렇게 체온을 올리는 생활을 꾸준하게 지속하면 암을 비롯한 당뇨병, 골다공증, 비만, 불임, 치매 같은 다양한 질환이 예방되며 건강한 삶을 누릴 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 45명의 가상현실 사용자들의 가상현실 전, 중, 후의 생리신호의 변화를 관찰하였고 성격, 능력 특성 설문지, 가상현실 평가 설문지를 이용하여 심리적 영향을 알아보았다. 체온의 변화 양상을 기준으로 하여 가상현실 사용자의 심리생리학적 유형을 나누고 유형별 심리적인 반응 특성을 살펴보았다. 1) A 유형: 가상현실 유행동안 체온이 연속적으로 감소하는 유형. 2) B 유형: 가상현실 윤행초기에 체온이 급격히 증가해서 운행동안 서서히 체온이 상승하는 유형. A 유형에 속하는 사용자들의 성격적 특성은 Holland의 성격 유형이론에 근거하여 실제형의 사람들이 많은 것으로 나타났으며 B 유형은 탐구형, 사회형의 사람들이 많은 경향으로 나타났다. 멀미민감도는 A 유형이 B 유형보다 더 크게 나타났다. A, B 유형의 뇌파분석 결과 정중 전두부 (Fz), 정중 중심부 (Cz)에서 베타파, 감마파 상대파워가 유의미한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 체온의 변화 양상에 따라 나눈 A, B 유형은 성격 및 능력 특성, 멀미민감도에 있어서 유형간 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose : To examine the effect of unilateral otitis media and unilateral cerumen occlusion of the ear canal on thermometers. Methods : One hundred eighty six children with unilateral otitis media, fifty children with unilateral cerumen occlusion, and fifty children with neither otitis media nor cerumen were enrolled. Temperature was measured in both ear canals using thermometers. After 15 minutes, second temperature was measured again in both ears. Unilateral otitis media was graded by video otoscope for 7 grades. Differences in temperatures between affected ears and unaffected ears were analyzed. Results : No temperature difference between the normal and cerumen groups was observed. The mean temperature of the otitis media ear canal was $0.13{\pm}0.20^{\circ}C$ higher than that of the intact ear canal ($36.99{\pm}0.54^{\circ}C$ vs $36.86{\pm}0.52^{\circ}C$; P<0.001). There was no statistically significant temperature difference between grades. Conclusion : Unilateral otits media can affect estimation of body temperature measured by thermometers.

This study was conducted to develop an algorithm for determination of abnormal body temperature in piglets through skin and core temperature database at normal condition. 5 piglets (mean BW : 46 kg) were employed for the experiment. They were adapted in the individual metabolism cage set at $22.5{\pm}2.0^{\circ}C$ of room temperature for 2 weeks before the measurement of body temperature. Ear, neck, head and subcutaneous neck temperature (as core temperature) of piglets were measured for every 1 minute during 30 consecutive days through 1mm k-type thermocouple wire and NI-devices (National Instruments Corporation, Austin, Texas, USA). Body temperature data were accumulated and integrated into the 1 day unit. Change of daily mean skin and core body temperatures in piglets were lowest at around 06:00, highest at around 14:00 and gradually decreased until the day after 06:00. Each skin temperatures were varied with the measuring site and largely depended on the room temperature changes. Established database of skin and core body temperature in piglets through this study can be applied to develop an algorithm for monitoring and determining the abnormal condition of animal by using radio frequency identification.
