When measuring the temperature of a human body, there is always a trade-off between measurement time and accuracy of measurement.
The time required for accomplishing the temperature measurement is mainly determined by the body thermal insulation. In order to shorten the measurement time, some instruments make a prediction of the core body temperature.
Medisim's approach to time reduction acts on the spatial axis, rather than the time axis. Fundamentally we are measuring not only the temperature on the surface of the skin, but also the heat flow. We then calculate the temperature of the blood vessels, which causes a particularheat flow on the surface of the skin. By taking this novel approach,Medisim eliminates time restrictions that other thermometers are subject to.
By using R.A.T.E™, we do not have to wait until the probe that measures the temperature gathers time dependent information in order to predict the temperature.
