Results of experimental research on thermoelectric medical heat flow sensors
Keywords:
diagnostics of diseases, thermoelectric sensor, body heat release, early diagnostics, inflammatory processes, oncological diseasesAbstract
The paper presents the results of experimental studies and medical tests of local heat release of the human body using a thermoelectric medical heat flow sensor. The study was conducted in the intensive care and surgical departments of the Vyzhnytskyi Central District Hospital. The device uses a multi-element thermoelectric sensor with high sensitivity and accuracy in a wide temperature range. Medical tests have confirmed that inflammatory processes are accompanied by increased heat release in certain areas, even if the general body temperature remains normal. At the same time, with oncological diseases and thrombosis, there is a reduced heat release in the corresponding parts of the body. The obtained results show the potential of using thermoelectric heat flow sensors for early diagnostics of various pathological conditions, including inflammation and oncological processes. The introduction of thermoelectric heat meters into medical practice will provide an accessible and effective tool for detecting diseases at early stages, which will significantly simplify diagnostic procedures and increase their effectiveness.
