Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008078271A1] The present invention provides a device for determining a core temperature of a body, such as a human body. Thereto, the device comprises a structure having a first and second side, and respective first and second temperature sensors, as well as a modulator means for lowering a temperature of the second sensor by changing a heat flux between the first side and the second side at a position of said second temperature sensor. The modulator means can lower the temperature by controlling heat flux without adding heat, but by controlling thermal coupling, which makes it inherently safe, and often much less power consuming.
