A tiny ingestible sensor can measure temperature from inside the body

Tue, 16 Jun 2026 08:00:21 EDT

In a hospital or at home, temperatures are usually taken using an oral or forehead thermometer, but these do not always accurately reflect the core body temperature. Measuring core temperature from within the body could make it easier to determine whether someone is sick, and whether they're at risk of spiking a dangerous fever. - - To make it more feasible to obtain core body temperature measurements, MIT engineers have developed an ingestible sensor that can send continuous temperature up...
