Device for measuring the infrared output of the Abreu brain thermal tunnel
First Claim
1. A sensing device configured to interface with a human Abreu brain thermal tunnel (ABTT) terminus of a patient, the sensing device comprising:
- a handle portion;
a body portion including a first end and a second end, said handle portion being pivotally mounted on the second end of the body portion;
a viewing portion mounted on an upper side of the body portion, the viewing portion including a display configured to extend from the body portion into a patient'"'"'s field of view; and
a sensing portion including a sensor mounted on a free end of the sensing portion, said sensing portion being rotatably mounted on the first end of the body portion and said sensing portion being angled away from the body portion, the free end of the sensing portion being rotatably movable with respect to the body portion to receive a signal from the ABTT terminus, the sensing portion including a field of view to capture at least the signal from a center portion of the ABTT terminus, and the sensing portion oriented at an angle of 75 degrees or less with respect to a longitudunal axis of the body portion.

Abstract
A medical device for the measurement of brain temperature data through the Abreu brain thermal tunnel (ABTT) is described. Brain temperature measurement is the key and universal indicator of both disease and health equally, and is the only vital sign that cannot be artificially changed by emotional states. Currently, brain temperature is difficult to measure. However, the present disclosure describes a device that readily locates the Abreu brain thermal tunnel, and is configured to provide a non-contact temperature reading of the brain. Embodiments of the disclosed device enable an individual to measure their own temperature and enable medical professionals to measure the temperature of others.
