    Abstract: An electronic device for estimating body temperature is provided. The electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a first temperature sensor configured to measure a first temperature of body skin; a second temperature sensor configured to measure a second temperature at a position spaced apart from the body skin; and a processor configured to estimate a body temperature based on the first temperature, to estimate an ambient temperature of a main body based on the second temperature, to calculate a heat loss, which occurs from a reference body location to the body skin due to the ambient temperature of the main body, based on the estimated ambient temperature of the main body, and to obtain a final body temperature by correcting the body temperature based on the heat loss due to the ambient temperature of the main body.

    Abstract: A method of transforming Monte Carlo (MC) simulations for diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) may include obtaining, by a DRS device, MC simulated DRS measurements using a pre-defined number of photons; pre-processing, by the DRS device, the MC simulated DRS measurements to obtain normalized DRS measurements; correcting, by the DRS device, non-monotonicity of the normalized DRS measurements to obtain monotonic DRS measurements; converting, by the DRS device, the monotonic DRS measurements to a logarithmic domain to obtain logarithmic DRS measurements; performing, by the DRS device, curve fitting on the logarithmic DRS measurements in the logarithmic domain to obtain curve-fitted logarithmic DRS measurements; and transforming, by the DRS device, the curve-fitted logarithmic DRS measurements to a non-logarithmic domain to obtain transformed MC simulated DRS measurements.
