Abstract

Purpose: This study explored the validity of a new type of thermometer and parent satisfaction with the new device. This 24-hour continuous monitoring smart wearable wireless thermometer (TempTraq®) uses a very small semiconductor sensor with a thin patch-like shape.

Methods: We obtained 397 sets of TempTraq® axillary temperatures and tympanic temperatures from 44 pediatric patients. Agreement between the axillary and tympanic measurements, as well as the validity of the TempTraq® axillary temperatures, were evaluated. Satisfaction surveys were completed by 41 caregivers after the measurements.

Results: The TempTraq® axillary temperatures demonstrated a strong positive correlation with the tympanic temperatures. The Bland-Altman plot and analysis of TempTraq® axillary temperatures and tympanic temperatures showed that the mean difference was +0.45 ℃, the 95% limits of agreement were -0.57 to +1.46 ℃. Based on a tympanic temperature of 38 ℃, the results of validity of fever detection were sensitivity 0.85 and specificity 0.86. Satisfaction scores for TempTraq® temperature measurement were all > 4 points (satisfactory).

Conclusion: TempTraq® smart axillary temperature measurement is an appropriate method for measuring children's temperatures since it was highly correlated to tympanic temperatures, had a reliable level of sensitivity and specificity, and could be used safely and conveniently.

基于智能可穿戴体温计的韩国儿童腋窝温度测量:与鼓室温度测量的比较。
目的:探讨一种新型体温计的效度及家长对该体温计的满意度。这款24小时连续监测的智能可穿戴无线温度计(TempTraq®)使用一个非常小的半导体传感器,具有薄片状。方法:我们获得44例儿科患者的397组TempTraq®腋窝温度和鼓室温度。评估腋窝和鼓室测量结果的一致性,以及TempTraq®腋窝温度的有效性。41名护理人员在测量后完成满意度调查。结果:TempTraq®腋窝温度与鼓室温度呈正相关。Bland-Altman图和对TempTraq®腋窝温度和鼓室温度的分析显示,平均差异为+0.45℃,95%一致性限为-0.57 ~ +1.46℃。以鼓室温度38℃为基准,发热检测的灵敏度为0.85,特异性为0.86。TempTraq®温度测量满意度得分均> 4分(满意)。结论:TempTraq®智能腋窝测温与鼓室温度高度相关,具有可靠的灵敏度和特异度,使用安全方便,是一种适合儿童体温测量的方法。
