The oral cavity is found to be the most accessible and is highly believed to provide the best estimation of the core body temperature. The oral cavity is found to be the most common site for measuring body temperature, by local sensors. Eating and drinking may affect accuracy while measuring oral temperature. The thermometers are placed inside the mouth, under the tongue, and such readings can be inaccurate. The oral cavity temperature is measured by placing the thermometer posteriorly into the sublingual pocket, as it is very close to the sublingual arteries, which track the changes in the core body temperature.
The body temperature monitoring market is highly competitive and consists of several major players, indicating a fragmented market scenario. Although the market is quite fragmented in nature, there are some leading players, such as 3M Company, Welch Allyn Inc., Omron Corporation etc
