The Components

Heat SensingThe highly-sensitive sensor measures forehead skin temperature fromthe temporal artery. Preliminary data indicates that there is a correlation

between forehead temperature and core body temperature as measured with our device. Kennesaw State University is in the process of further validating this data.

Remote reportingThe system is equipped with a custom RF tag or assembly thatgathers heat data and transmits it to a handheld PDA. The data can bedownloaded to a user’s computer and reports are generated that detail dates,

times, and temperature readings for each individual player.
