Original Abstract Submitted
This temperature measurement device includes a temperature sensing unit serving as a detector for measuring a magnitude of a heat flow transmitted from a living body, a housing having a hollow structure, a heat flow compensation mechanism with a hollow structure that is disposed in a space inside the housing so as to cover the temperature sensing unit and transports a heat flux from the living body outside the temperature sensing unit to an upper part of the temperature sensing unit, and a circuit board mounted on the heat flow compensation mechanism. The circuit board includes a processing electronic circuit for calculating the internal temperature of the living body on the basis of the magnitude of the heat flow measured by the temperature sensing unit.
