A core body temperature measurement device includes temperature sensor (12, 12f, 12b), a head-mountable mechanical frame or pad (42, 62, 64, 72, 82, 102, 112) configured to operatively couple the temperature sensor with skin overlaying an arterial blood rich superficial region (STA, PAA) disposed near to an auricle and outside of an ear canal or other skin (CAR) overlaying the carotid artery or a major arterial branch thereof, and a readout controller (10, 48, 68, 90) configured to acquire a temperature measurement using the temperature sensor and to output a core body temperature based on the acquired temperature measurement. |
