Thermometry clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Principles and Test Methods of Non-contact Body Thermometry

Start date: July 22, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Long-wavelength infrared (IR) detectors have a more than 20-year history in medical thermometry and have been used widely for febrile screening. However, over the past year and a half, public health entities, medical professionals, and the general public have begun to question the claimed accuracy of non-contact body thermometry. The standard assessment of a device's performance relies on clinical testing with febrile individuals, yet this practice may have inadvertently allowed the approval of IR systems that are unable to detect moderate fevers. The ability to test device performance without relying on febrile test participants would have important ramifications for public health, especially if this test discovered undisclosed differences in accuracy in widely used devices. The aim is to examine the effect of the local environment and the physiology of the human body on the relationship between core body temperature and inner canthi (region near tear duct) skin temperature measured using non-contact thermal imaging and to use of this relationship to test actual device performance at detecting simulated elevated temperatures, without requiring volunteers having actual elevated temperatures. The overall goal of this research study is to validate and improve the science of non-contact core body temperature measurement.
