Abstract

Numerous devices are available to measure body temperature. An innovative, thin, disposable, flexible, battery-powered temperature skin patch that continuously measures and transmits skin temperature to a smart device was found feasible to use with no risks identified related to wearing the device or transmitting the temperature readings.
