    Abstract: A measuring recovery of a finger skin temperature of a writing instrument's user, comprising: measuring a first finger skin temperature of a user's finger contacting a grip area of the writing instrument during a writing session with the writing instrument; cooling the finger contacting the grip area with a cooling element and for a cooling duration; measuring a second finger skin temperature after lapse of the cooling duration; calculating the skin temperature reduction; measuring a series of finger temperature measurements after lapse of the cooling duration; calculating a temperature recovery rate based on the series of finger temperature measurements; comparing the skin temperature reduction and the temperature recovery rate to historical data and/or reference data; and providing an indication to the user in case that the skin temperature reduction and/or the temperature recovery rate are abnormal as compared to the historical data and/or reference data.

    Abstract: A core body temperature sensor (10) includes a thermoresistant structure (12) having a proximal surface (11) configured for attachment to skin of an associated patient, and a distal end (13) opposite from the proximal surface. A plurality of temperature sensors (14) is arranged to measure temperatures of the thermoresistant structure at a corresponding plurality of different distances from the proximal surface of the thermoresistant structure. A temperature-changing element (16) is configured to change a temperature of the distal end of the thermoresistant structure. An electronic processor (20) is programmed to acquire temperature measurements from the plurality of temperature sensors while operating the temperature-changing element to maintain a temperature of the distal end of the thermoresistant structure at a temperature different from an ambient temperature, and extrapolate a core body temperature of the associated patient from the acquired temperature measurements.
