PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a non-heating type thermometer which allows the deep body temperature of an analyte to be measured through easy calculation, using a pair of temperature sensors.SOLUTION: A thermometer which allows the deep body temperature of an analyte to be estimated through contact with a proper place of the body surface of the analyte includes a thermal resistor having a first temperature sensor arranged at the surface on the side in contact with the body surface and a second temperature sensor arranged at the surface on the side opposite to the side in contact with the body surface. The thermometer includes a controller which calculates the deep body temperature from the temperature measured with the first and second thermometers, assuming that the difference between the deep body temperature and the temperature measured with the first temperature sensor and the difference between the temperature measured with the first temperature sensor and the temperature measured with second temperature sensor are in a proportional relation. Inputting a measured body temperature from the outside allows the proportionality coefficient of the proportional relation to be renewed based on the temperature measured with the first and the second temperature sensors and the inputted measured value. |
