Abstract
A heat flux sensor according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a thermogalvanic cell; a first electrode and a second electrode which are respectively disposed on a first surface and a second surface of the thermogalvanic cell; and a processor configured to estimate heat flux by measuring a voltage, generated by a temperature difference between the first surface and the second surface, by using the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein core body temperature may be estimated based on the heat flux, estimated by the heat flux sensor, and a skin surface temperature of an object.
