greenTEG has developed a unique sensor solution for wearables to measure accurately and non-invasively the core body temperature based on heat flux sensors. The solution works on the chest and newly also on the wrist. The unique 2mm x 2mm gSkin®-XU sensor is the key component, which fits into any wearable device.
We are already integrated in several chest wearables on the market and are aiming now to get into the first wristband.
greenTEGs runs a profitable business with its well established thermal sensor products for laser and the building market produced in its own facility in Switzerland.

The European Union’s Horizon 2020 Program is the largest research and innovation funding program ever launched to support scientific progress. Under this program, the EU granted greenTEG phase 1 funding of 50’000€ to further develop a wearable sensor solution for non-invasive and continuous measurements of core body temperature (CBT) at the wrist.
Over the last years, wearable sensor systems for fitness and health monitoring have become highly popular. However, no sensor is yet available to measure CBT non-invasively and continuously. With the Horizon 2020 funding, greenTEG will further develop its thermal sensor for non-invasive, wireless, and continuous CBT monitoring to meet size requirements for the integration of the solution into wrist-worn wearables. greenTEG’s invention relies on patented heat flux sensing technology in combination with sophisticated machine learning algorithms for accurate real-time measurements. In this project, greenTEG aims to increase the accuracy of the system to ± 0.2°C under daily-life conditions for wrist-worn applications.
Why Measuring Core Body Temperature Is Important
In addition to heart rate, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, and respiration CBT is one of the most important vital parameters. Changes in CBT often indicate an on-set of health-related issues like sleep disorders, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. greenTEG’s solution will be a great enabler for the necessary transformation towards a patient-centred preventive health system.
About the Project
With the phase 1 funding, greenTEG will conduct a feasibility study and a business plan for the evaluation of the technical, commercial and financial aspects for a successful market launch.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No. 835831. Additional information can be found here https://sme.easme-web.eu/?b=908354852

greenTEG will exhibit its solution for continuous, non-invasive core body temperature measurements for wearable and med-tech applications at the Websummit in Lisbon. Contact us for a meeting during the fair.
The core body temperature (CBT) is an important parameter for accurate assessments of the human body’s state of health. With greenTEG's technology it is possible to measure the core body temperature non-invasively. Core body temperature data helps drawing conclusion about: training level, sleep quality, stress & burnout, ovulation, Alzheimer's, and heat stroke. More about this application is available here.
