    Abstract: An apparatus for estimating body temperature of an object may include: a heating element; a first temperature sensor configured to measure temperature of the heating element; a second temperature sensor disposed at a position spaced apart from the first temperature sensor and configured to measure surface temperature of an object upon contact with the object; and a processor configured to estimate core temperature using a heat flux based on the temperature of the heating element and the surface temperature of the object, and to estimate body temperature of the object by correcting the core temperature, estimated using the heat flux, based on external temperature.

    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.
