Contact temperature measurement and non-contact temperature measurement are two common temperature measurement methods. Contact temperature measurement usually uses equipment such as temperature probes to directly contact the sensor with the human body to measure the temperature, while non-contact temperature measurement is a non-invasive temperature measurement method that usually uses infrared or laser technology to detect the thermal radiation emitted by the human body and convert it into temperature data.

Thermometers commonly used in contact temperature measurement play an important role in medical and daily life. Compared with non-contact temperature measurement technology, thermometers have their own unique advantages and application areas. This article will focus on comparing thermometers with non-contact temperature measurement tools, and explore the importance of choosing the right temperature measurement method.

Thermometer probes are contact temperature measurement tools, usually divided into two measurement methods: surface temperature and body cavity temperature. Surface temperature measurement measures body temperature by placing the sensor in the mouth, ear, or armpit of the human body. It obtains temperature data through physical contact and displays it on the instrument. Thermometer probes are widely used in the medical field, and their accuracy has been widely verified in professional medical institutions. In addition, thermometer probes usually have high accuracy and stability, are less affected by environmental factors, and are suitable for situations with high accuracy requirements.

The advantages of non-contact temperature measurement technology are its convenience and speed. It can quickly measure body temperature without contact, and is suitable for large-scale personnel screening and use in public places. Non-contact temperature measurement technology reduces contact with the human body and reduces the risk of cross-infection, which is of great significance for epidemiological monitoring and control. However, non-contact temperature measurement technology also has certain limitations in some aspects, such as:

1. It is easily affected by environmental factors, such as ambient temperature and thermal radiation.

2. Non-contact temperature measurement is not easy to achieve long-term continuous measurement of the target.

So although non-contact temperature measurement technology has advantages in some aspects, temperature probes are still the preferred temperature measurement method in some cases. For disease diagnosis and monitoring that requires accurate measurement, temperature probes are a more reliable choice. Secondly, temperature probes can provide continuous monitoring capabilities, which are suitable for situations where long-term temperature monitoring is required, such as surgical procedures or intensive care.

When choosing a suitable temperature measurement method, you need to consider the actual needs and the use environment. Thermometers are suitable for situations where high accuracy is required, continuous monitoring is required, or temperature measurement is performed in a professional medical environment. Non-contact temperature measurement technology is suitable for rapid screening and large-scale personnel measurement, especially in public places and epidemiological monitoring. When choosing a suitable temperature measurement method, you should consider the actual needs and the use environment to ensure accurate and reliable temperature data.
