Temperature patch accuracy study for patients 7 and older
This study checks if a wearable temperature patch on the neck and ear gives accurate readings. It may help patients who need easy, non-invasive temperature monitoring.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 7 years old.
- You need to agree to place the patch on your neck and ear.
- You must not have any ear problems that prevent using an ear thermometer.
- Your neck and ear skin must be clear of any irritation or wounds.
- You cannot have taken fever-reducing medicine (like acetaminophen or ibuprofen) within the last 2 hours.
- Your doctor must confirm your eardrum is visible and sealed properly.

This study compares three different ways to measure your body temperature during surgery. It aims to see if a simple ear thermometer and a skin sensor work as well as the standard nose probe, so patients may have more comfortable and accurate temperature monitoring in the future.
This study tests a wearable device that continuously monitors your body temperature to detect cytokine release syndrome, a possible side effect of certain immunotherapies. The goal is to catch it early so you can get treatment faster.
This study tests a new temperature-sensing patch placed on the neck to see if it matches the standard temperatures taken from the esophagus and bladder during surgery. If accurate, it could offer a less invasive way to monitor temperature.
This trial tests a wearable device that continuously measures your body temperature while you are in the hospital. It may help doctors track fever or temperature changes caused by infections or other illnesses.
This study tests whether a small skin patch (connected to a device) can accurately record vital signs in children who need close monitoring in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). It may help improve how doctors track a child’s heart rate, breathing, and other key signs.
This study tests a new, non-invasive forehead sensor for continuous temperature monitoring compared to standard probes placed in the bladder, esophagus, or rectum. It aims to see if the forehead sensor is just as accurate and more comfortable for patients needing temperature control after a brain injury.
