Predictive Core Temperature Monitoring in Diverse Fields

A system and method for predicting core temperature in various applications, including medical treatment, athlete performance monitoring, and wearable health devices, leveraging advanced temperature and mass sensing technologies.

The original patent focused on cooking devices and methods for predicting food core temperature. However, the limitations of this technology were confined to the culinary industry. The new inventive concept addresses the need for accurate core temperature prediction in diverse fields, where precise temperature monitoring is crucial for effective treatment, performance optimization, and health management.

The new system comprises a temperature sensor to monitor the temperature of a treatment medium, patient, athlete, or user over time, and a mass sensor to monitor the mass of the patient, athlete, or user over time. The system uses the monitored temperature and mass to predict the core temperature and control the treatment, provide personalized training recommendations, or offer health advice accordingly. This technology can be integrated into medical devices, wearable devices, or athlete performance monitoring systems.

The new claims introduce a paradigm shift by applying the core technology of predicting core temperature to entirely new industries, including medical treatment, athlete performance monitoring, and wearable health devices. The inventive step lies in the adaptation of the temperature and mass sensing technologies to these diverse fields, enabling accurate core temperature prediction and control.

Alternative embodiments may include the use of different types of sensors, such as infrared or acoustic sensors, or the integration of additional parameters, like humidity or heart rate, to enhance the accuracy of core temperature prediction. Variations may also include the development of specialized systems for specific medical treatments, athletic disciplines, or health conditions.

The inventive concept has significant commercial potential in the medical device industry, athlete performance monitoring market, and wearable health device sector. Target industries may include hospitals, clinics, sports teams, fitness centers, and health-conscious consumers. The technology can be licensed to companies operating in these fields or developed into proprietary products.
