Product OverviewCalera® is CORE’s premium core body temperature monitoring solution for research use cases. The innovative sensor technology is built into a compact waterproof device that can be comfortably worn during controlled study settings, sports activities, at work, or all day long. CORE Calera® comes with functionalities and services specifically designed for research purposes, including access to high-resolution data and several benefits often appreciated by researchers.
Advantages- Raw Data Access
- More data streams: core temperature, skin temperature, accelerometer, optional heart rate (external device), optional heat flux*
- Highest resolution: 1 measurement per second
- For most precise sports data, pairing with a heart rate monitor is recommended to help convert measured heat flux into core body temperature. During everyday (non-sports) activity, core temperature data is accurate with or without a heart rate monitor.
- Remote Support
- Assistance with study setup
- Data interpretation support
- Highest Accuracy
- Each CORE Calera® device undergoes individual calibration for heat flux and skin measurements to ensure optimal accuracy across devices.
- Store Data on Calera
- Up to 6.5 days of onboard storage
- No loss of data due to a bad connection
- Research tool
- Control multiple devices simultaneously from PC/Mac
- Manage and download data in easily accessible .csv files
*Heat flux is only available on agreement

The Technology — How Does It Work?Calera® is a wearable device that enables accurate, non-invasive, and continuous core body temperature monitoring. The technology utilizes innovative thermal energy transfer (heat flux) sensors that operate independently of physical activity and environmental conditions.
- Heat-Flux Technology: Calera® combines heat-flux and skin temperature sensors with machine learning algorithms trained on over 1 million data points to calculate core body temperature.
What Is Heat Flux?- Heat Flux is the rate of heat energy that passes through a surface; it can be expressed in units such as W/m² or W depending on definition.
- Temperature gradient in an environment causes heat to flow from hot to cold; the thermal transfer coefficient of the system is also important.
- A Heat Flux Sensor is a Seebeck sensor: when heat passes through the sensor, it generates a voltage signal proportional to the heat passing through it, enabling industrial or research applications involving temperature gradients across surfaces.
