2. The Value Proposition

6. The Components Heat Sensing The highly-sensitive sensor measures forehead skin temperature from the temporal artery. Preliminary data indicates that there is a correlation between forehead temperature and core body temperature as measured with our device. Kennesaw State University is in the process of further validating this data. Remote reporting The system is equipped with a custom RF tag or assembly that gathers heat data and transmits it to a handheld PDA. The data can be downloaded to a user’s computer and reports are generated that detail dates, times, and temperature readings for each individual firefighter.
