Motivation
2/5/2018 confidential 6
Market status: Insurances are embracing the concept of vital monitoring via wearables accelerated growth
Problem:
Cost explosion in Health Care
Hypothesis:Onset of health problem is visible in a change of vital parameters
Requirement:Continuous & non-invasive monitoring of relevant vitals
From reactive to preventive health care: paradigm shift & digital revolution in health care
Motivation
Time & machine learning will tell (big data and AI approach) but this is the experts’ (medical doctors) best guess:
5 vital parameters
Respiration
✓
Oxygen saturation
O2
✓
Heart rate
✓
Core body temperature(CBT)
✗
Blood pressure
✗
High invasiveness, low accuracy, difficult to integrate, not continuous
Key problems with current solutions:
greenTEG enables accurate, continuous and non-invasive core body temperature (CBT) measurement for low activity!

Which are the relevant vitals?
Motivation CBT measurements are an insightful indicator of health
The Circadian rhythm is defined by the core body temperature drop during night.
• Shows insight into health and behavior of each individual
• Current solutions are all invasive (radio pill, rectal probe, ...)

Summary of norm (ISO-9869)
• Heat flux based method leads to reliable, quantitative data
• Non-invasive measurements, starting from a temperature difference of as little as 5°C
• Duration of the measurement has to be 72 hours (to be ISO conform), shorter measurement times also possible
• Moving average leads to stable results
Measurement setup
Building: greenTEG`s U-value measurement is based on heat flux monitoring, described in ISO 9869
Simple installation, real time observation within the web-cloud, easy communication via proprietary IoT based LoRa protocol
