What Types of Temperature Sensors are Commonly Used?
Several types of temperature sensors are utilized in epidemiology, including:
1. Thermocouples: Often used for environmental monitoring due to their wide temperature range and durability. 2. Infrared Sensors: Commonly used for non-contact body temperature measurements, especially in public health settings. 3. Digital Thermometers: Widely used in clinical settings for accurate and quick body temperature readings. 4. Wireless Sensors: Employed for real-time data collection and remote monitoring, useful in large-scale epidemiological studies.
