ABSTRACT
This paper describes a method for estimating core body temperature from radiation heat of the caruncle and an eyeglass-type device for measuring the temperature of the caruncle to prescreen for infectious diseases such as COVID-19. As a precise prescreening method, monitoring a person's continuous core body temperature is desired. By monitoring the continuous core body temperature, including circadian rhythm, in our daily life, infections can potentially be discovered when body temperature is higher than normal. Although monitoring the core body temperature is effective, continuous and precise monitoring requires the use of an invasive instrument. To overcome this, we (1) design an eyeglass-type device for measuring the caruncle temperature and (2) model the correlation between the caruncle temperature and the core body temperature. Experimental results revealed that hypothalamic temperature could be estimated within ± 0.3 °C between 20 and 30 °C by using the eyeglass-type device.
