u-blox and greenTEG<\/a><\/strong>, a company specialising in the development of heat flux sensors, are announcing the commercial launch of\u00a0 a new venture brand, named CORE<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a wearable for continuous and accurate core body temperature monitoring. The device, which communicates wirelessly using the u-blox NINA-B306<\/a><\/strong> stand-alone Bluetooth 5 low energy module, can be used to track its users\u2019 wellness status as they return to the workplace from their homes, and alerts them when their core body temperature rises unexpectedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CORE uses an innovative approach to continuously monitor core body temperature with accuracies rivaling those of ingestible sensors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Worn close to the body with a patch or a belt CORE translates sensed data into an estimate of the core body temperature \u2013 commonly defined as the temperature of blood as it leaves the heart\u2019s aortic valve \u2013 using an algorithm specifically trained for the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially developed to help athletes avoid overheating when training for and competing in extreme environments, such as ultra-marathons or the Ironman, the solution was repurposed to address new challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Target groups include the general public that is seeking to return to work safely, business owners and patrons concerned with protecting their workforces\u2019 and customers\u2019 wellbeing, and individuals in risk groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe needed a small and pre-certified low power Bluetooth module that could help keep the size of the overall solution to a minimum while offering the connectivity options, the considerable memory, and the reliability our application required,\u201d says Holger Hendrichs, VP of Sales and Marketing at greenTEG. \u201cThe u-blox NINA-B306 looked like a promising candidate. When we found out that it interfaced with Garmin devices using the ANT+ protocol, for us a critical feature, our choice was clear.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis application perfectly demonstrates the value that our NINA-B3 series of Bluetooth 5 low energy modules can bring to wearable applications, including their small size, their low power consumption, a full megabyte of Flash memory, and their powerful Arm Cortex-M4 microprocessor,\u201d says Pelle Svensson, Senior Principal, Product Strategy Short Range Radio at u-blox. \u201cIn these uncertain and testing times, it\u2019s encouraging to see our technology help keep people safe and, hopefully, flatten the curve.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
