Noncontact-Body-Temperature-Measurement

Abstract

Our study aims to design the prototype system, which includes the non-contact temperature sensor, embedded system, and database. Using a specialized mechanical fixture and a simple calibration technique, preliminary results show desirable temperature measurement performance. To reduce the inconvenience caused during direct measurement to the users such as having the thermometer clamped to one part of the body (mouth, armpit, or rectum) and kept fixed for a certain period, our device provides a new measuring method without the need for contact and quickly displays results with high accuracy compare with other devices. Moreover, our purpose is to use this device for making the timely diagnosis of malaria through the human temperature in households, schools, and hospitals.
