A wearable body temperature monitor?

I am in need of a wearable body temp monitor for my fiance who%26#039;s bodies thermostat is buggered. Also with heart rate monitor in one would be supreme, is there anything like this in existence? I%26#039;ve looked at sport watches but no good, there are some diving watches that do temperature, but i think water temp not body temp.



A wearable body temperature monitor?

heart rate can be monitored easily by a wrist watch type device,



body temperature is more tricky. the average joe on the street or in a house, has a body temperature between about 70 something and 90 something. the ambient temperature, sweating, heat loss and many other factors make this the case.



in taking a temp, they use the ear device, and under the tongue. in surgery, they insert a tube into the throat to get accurate core temperatures.



i do not believe, based on my knowledge of medicine, that you will find a device that is trustworthy enough to do this as an object you wear. there are just too many variables.



the ear thermometer is the fastest most reliable instant fix i know of.



the mouth of most people using a lazer thermometer is about 90 something and varies greatly.



good luck to you
