Abstract
A heat flux sensor including two temperature sensors is used to obtain time-series data of a core temperature of a living body, and a blood flow rate in a vicinity of the heat flux sensor is measured by a blood flow sensor. In an arithmetic circuit, a delay time until a fluctuation of the core temperature of the living body is reflected on an epidermis temperature is calculated on the basis of the blood flow rate measured by the blood flow sensor and a previously prepared relation between the blood flow rate and the delay time until the fluctuation of the core temperature of the living body is reflected on the epidermis temperature, and a time corresponding to the core temperature of the living body on the basis of the delay time is corrected.
