One aspect of the present technology, for example, is directed to a catheter apparatus including an elongated shaft defined by a braid embedded within a polymer. The braid can include one or more thermocouple assemblies intertwined with a braiding element. The thermocouple assemblies can be coupled to one or more electrodes at a distal portion of the shaft.
