Brief summary
Moni-Patch Temperature Monitoring Patch System, a non-invasive, continuous temperature monitoring device designed to estimate core body temperature by applying a Sensor to the neck. This clinical accuracy validation study aims to verify the accuracy and repeatability of the Moni-Patch compared with an FDA-cleared continuous tympanic temperature monitoring device used as the clinical reference. Main objectives of this study are; To verify that the Moni-Patch and the reference device(tympanic) demonstrate acceptable agreement, as defined by Bland-Altman Analyses (bias within ±0.4°C and limits of agreement between -1.0°C and 1.0°C). To verify the consistency and repeatability of temperature measurements obtained from the Moni-Patch during continuous monitoring.
Detailed description
This study is conducted in accordance with ISO 80601-2-56:2017, which outlines definitions for temperature-measuring devices, age groups, required sample sizes, fever definitions, procedural flow, and statistical methods for clinical performance evaluation. All subjects undergo temperature measurement using the reference device(Tympanic) and the investigational device (Moni-Patch Temperature Monitoring Patch System). The Moni-Patch Sensor is applied to the neck and paired with the Receiver, while the tympanic probe is positioned and sealed in the ear canal. Each subject participates in a continuous 15-minute temperature monitoring session, during which both devices collect temperature values concurrently every 30 seconds. Environmental temperature and humidity are also recorded during the session.
Interventions
Wireless neck-applied Sensor paired with a Receiver via Bluetooth; heat flux and thermistor-based estimation of core temperature; sampling every 30 seconds.

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Agreement between Moni-Patch™ Core Temperature Monitoring Patch System and Continuous Tympanic Temperature (Ttym) Measurements | 15-minute continuous temperature monitoring period following a minimum 30-minute sensor acclimation period (per subject). | Agreement will be quantified using the mean temperature difference (bias; °C) and Limits of Agreement (LOA; °C) between the Moni-Patch™ Temperature Monitoring Patch System and the comparative FDA-cleared continuous tympanic thermometer (Ttym). Paired temperature measurements (Moni-Patch vs. Ttym) collected every 30 seconds during continuous monitoring will be analyzed using Bland-Altman methodology. Name of Measurement: Core body temperature difference Measurement Tool(s): Moni-Patc Temperature Monitoring Patch System FDA-cleared continuous tympanic temperature monitoring device (Ttym) Unit of Measure: Degrees Celsius (°C) Analysis Method: Bland-Altman bias and 95% limits of agreement |
