Abstract
An apparatus for estimating a core body temperature of an object is provided. The apparatus may include a heat flow sensor configured to measure a first heat flux from an object, a first temperature sensor positioned under a thermal conducting material and configured to measure a surface temperature of the object, a second temperature sensor positioned above the thermal conducting material and configured to measure a surface temperature of the thermal conducting material, and a processor configured to obtain a second heat flux by calibrating the first heat flux based on the surface temperature of the object and the surface temperature of the thermal conducting material, and configured to estimate a core body temperature of the object based on the obtained second heat flux and the surface temperature of the object.
