Abstract
The invention describes a method of predicting a stabilization temperature (T) of a subject () with a heat-flow sensor () comprising a plurality of thermistors (S, S, SA, SA, SB, SB), which method comprises the steps of expressing the temperature development of the heat-flow sensor () as a stretched exponential equation characterized by a time constant (τ) and a sensor characteristic scalar value (m); receiving temperature measurement values (T, T, T, T) collected by the thermistors (S, S, SA, SA, SB, SB); estimating the time constant (τ) on the basis of the temperature measurement values (T, T, T, T); and deducing the future stabilization temperature (T) on the basis of the estimated time constant (τ). The invention further describes heat-flow sensor () and a temperature sensing arrangement ().
