Abstract
A device for determining the body core temperature of a living being includes a first temperature sensor () for detecting the skin temperature T, an insulator () for receiving the first temperature sensor (), a second temperature sensor () in the insulator () for detecting a temperature Tand a third temperature sensor (), which is arranged opposite the first temperature sensor () at the insulator (), for detecting a temperature Tnear the environment. Assuming a constant ratio of lateral heat fluxes α at the insulator () between the temperature sensors (), the body core temperature Tis determined by the relationship described by the formula
