BODY TEMPERATURE ESTIMATING DEVICE, BODY TEMPERATURE ESTIMATING METHOD AND BODY TEMPERATURE ESTIMATING SYSTEM
A body temperature estimation device includes a measurement unit that measures a temperature of an eye of an animal, and a body temperature estimation unit that estimates a core body temperature of the animal by setting the temperature measured by the measurement unit in a body temperature estimation model and simulating heat conduction.
1 . A body temperature estimation device comprising:
a measurement unit that measures a temperature of an eye of an animal; and
a body temperature estimation unit that estimates a core body temperature of the animal by setting the temperature measured by the measurement unit in a body temperature estimation model and simulating heat conduction.
2 . The body temperature estimation device according to claim 1 , wherein the measurement unit measures a temperature of a lacrimal caruncle portion of the eye of the animal.
3 . The body temperature estimation device according to claim 1 , wherein the body temperature estimation model includes a blood vessel connecting the eye and a brain and a model of an organ covering the blood vessel, and wherein the body temperature estimation unit simulates heat transport by blood passing through the blood vessel.
4 . A body temperature estimation device comprising:
a measurement unit that measures a temperature of an eye of an animal; and
a body temperature estimation unit that estimates a core body temperature of the animal by inputting the temperature measured by the measurement unit in a body temperature estimation equation indicating a relationship between a temperature of an eye of the animal and a core body temperature of the animal.
5 . A body temperature estimation method comprising:
a measurement step of measuring a temperature of an eye of an animal; and
a body temperature estimation step of estimating a core body temperature of the animal by setting the temperature measured in the measurement step in a body temperature estimation model and simulating heat conduction.
6 . A body temperature estimation system comprising:
a temperature measurement device that measures a temperature of an eye of an animal; and
a body temperature estimation device that estimates a core body temperature of the animal by setting the temperature measured by the temperature measurement device in a body temperature estimation model and simulating heat conduction.
