Outline of Final Research Achievements

An evolutionary clinical electrical thermometer that fixes a soft material ball over a tip of a temperature probe to fit an axilla of him/her have been developed. The soft material ball allows them to hold the temperature probe more easily with weak power without causing deviation in a position of it in the axilla. On the other hand, as the size of the thermometer becomes larger while the soft material ball makes its thermal conductivity and capacity worse, it is much harder to measure an accurate temperature in a short time. Therefore, a temperature prediction mechanism that makes it possible to mathematically calculate an axillary temperature has been proposed. Developed evolutionary clinical electrical thermometer has been verified by comparing the error between measured value and predicted value in the axillary of him/her. As a result, the prediction error is 0.15±0.16℃, and 253.5±12.5seconds is denoted the prediction time.
