Body temperature screening and measurement using infrared forehead thermometer (IFT), a non-contact thermometer, is an important method to prevent the spread of COVID-19 at present. However, low accuracy and unreliability of current IFT due to ambient temperature effect prevent it application in most of low-temperature environment. The aim of this study was to measure the body temperature accurately using IFT in low-temperature environment. A novel IFT with broad working temperature range and ambient temperature compensation was designed and fabricated, and the performance was evaluated. Also an ambient temperature compensation method based on Bluetooth module was introduced to improve the accuracy of body temperature measurement for the first time. The experiment results demonstrated that the laboratory indication error and repeatability in test mode of this developed IFT were all below 0.2℃ in ambient temperature range of (3~35) ℃. While the extended uncertainty for laboratory indication error was less than 0.1℃ (k=2). Compared with the contact electronic clinical thermometer, the difference of body temperature was improved within the scope of (-0.3~﹢0.3)℃ in low-temperature measurement environment. All the results showed that the IFT fabricated in this paper is sufficient and competent for body temperature screening and clinical body temperature measurement in most of low-temperature environment
The application of tunable Mid-infrared laser system based on fiber-optic ATR sensor to regent-free quantification of glucose concentration was presented. The five laser emission wavelengths, including 1081, 1076, 1051, 1041 and 1037 cm-1, were employed for glucose determination. In our experiments, absorbance at the five wavelengths correlates strongly well with glucose concentration (R2>0.99, SD<0.0004, P<0.0001), and the noise-equivalent concentration is as low as 3.8 mg/dL. Compared with the conventional FT-IR spectrometer, higher sensitivity was aquired because of the laser higher power and spectral resolution, and it is about 4 times as high as that of FT-IR spectrometer. All the results of this investigation suggested that the tunable CO2 laser spectroscopy is a powerful method for glucose measurement. Especially, the multiple tunable wavelengths, which makes it possible for glucose determination in blood or interstitial fluide with complicated components.
