Hi,
We would like to use the TMP006 for body skin temperature measurements.
Our device is based on an RF energy that heat the skin.
Since we use an ultrasound gel as an coupling material , we must use a protective cup in order to keep the gel from
penetrating inside the device - we use a Polyethylene as a raw material for making the cup.
We noticed during our experiments the following:
1. The gel is disturbing the sensor operation.
2. The ambient temperature changing rate is very low.
3. In the beginning of the operation there is a large difference between the actual temp. to what the sensor is reading,therefor it's very difficult for us to use the sensor as a thermostat that will protect the user from overheating.
We will appreciate if you will shear with us your experience in same applications.
Regards,
