Digital health is now a part of our daily lives. Melexis designs and delivers micro-electronic solutions that prioritize innovation and engineering excellence, enabling precise sensing of both environmental and bodily parameters. Empower your self-checking routines with reliable data through our miniaturized solutions, available in packaged or bare die forms.

Temperature

Measuring the human body temperature is one of the most common first steps in diagnosing a patient's health. Typically, body core temperature is measured in contact with the skin. However, achieving and maintaining excellent thermal contact with the skin can be difficult and may result in invalid measurements.
 
An alternative method is through the use of far-infrared radiation detection, which is particularly advisable for wearable and medical applications requiring accurate skin thermometry. The MLX90632 is a contactless temperature sensor that combines three unique features: small size, medical-grade accuracy, and thermal stability. Our sensor does not require thermal contact with the skin to accurately report temperatures.
