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.
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 particular flow on the surface of the skin. In this way we eliminate the time restriction.
By using R.A.T.E™, we don't have to wait until the skin receives the body heat, since we measure the blood flow on the skin and calculate the temperature in the blood vessel, which makes the blood flow.
