Real-time detection of basic physiological parameters such as blood pressure and heart rate is an important target in wearable smart devices for healthcare. Among these, the core body temperature is one of the most important basic medical indicators of fever, insomnia, fatigue, metabolic functionality, and depression. However, traditional wearable temperature sensors are based upon the measurement of skin temperature, which can vary dramatically from the true core body temperature. Here, we demonstrate a three-dimensional (3D) printed wearable “earable” smart device that is designed to be worn on the ear to track core body temperature from the tympanic membrane (i.e., ear drum) based on an infrared sensor. The device is fully integrated with data processing circuits and a wireless module for standalone functionality. Using this smart earable device, we demonstrate that the core body temperature can be accurately monitored regardless of the environment and activity of the user. In addition, a microphone and actuator are also integrated so that the device can also function as a bone conduction hearing aid. Using 3D printing as the fabrication method enables the device to be customized for the wearer for more personalized healthcare. This smart device provides an important advance in realizing personalized health care by enabling real-time monitoring of one of the most important medical parameters, core body temperature, employed in preliminary medical screening tests.

用于实时检测核心体温的3D打印“可穿戴”智能设备

诸如血压和心率之类的基本生理参数的实时检测是用于医疗保健的可穿戴智能设备的重要目标。其中，核心体温是发烧，失眠，疲劳，代谢功能和抑郁的最重要的基本医学指标之一。但是，传统的可穿戴温度传感器基于皮肤温度的测量，而皮肤温度可能会与真实的核心体温有很大差异。在这里，我们演示了三维（3D）打印的可穿戴“可穿戴”智能设备，该设备旨在戴在耳朵上，以基于红外传感器从鼓膜（即耳鼓）跟踪核心体温。该设备与数据处理电路和无线模块完全集成在一起，具有独立功能。使用这种智能的可耳听设备，我们证明了可以精确地监控核心体温，而不管用户的环境和活动如何。此外，麦克风和致动器也集成在一起，因此该设备还可以用作骨传导助听器。使用3D打印作为制造方法可以使设备针对佩戴者进行定制，以实现更加个性化的医疗保健。该智能设备通过实现对初步医学筛查测试中使用的最重要医学参数之一，即核心体温的实时监控，为实现个性化医疗保健提供了重要的进步。麦克风和致动器也集成在一起，因此该设备还可以用作骨传导助听器。使用3D打印作为制造方法可以使设备针对佩戴者进行定制，以实现更加个性化的医疗保健。该智能设备通过实现对初步医学筛查测试中使用的最重要医学参数之一核心体温的实时监控，为实现个性化医疗保健提供了重要进展。麦克风和致动器也集成在一起，因此该设备还可以用作骨传导助听器。使用3D打印作为制造方法可以使设备针对佩戴者进行定制，以实现更加个性化的医疗保健。该智能设备通过实现对初步医学筛查测试中使用的最重要医学参数之一，即核心体温的实时监控，为实现个性化医疗保健提供了重要的进步。
