Can a wristband replace a pill for temperature checks?
NCT ID NCT05692947
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a wearable device called CORE can accurately estimate core body temperature in athletes exercising in hot conditions. Forty highly trained athletes wore the sensor while their real temperature was measured with an FDA-approved pill. The goal was to see if the sensor is a reliable, non-invasive alternative for monitoring heat stress during training.
