Participant Flow

This is a repeated measures study design. 30 subjects provided written informed consent. Of these subjects: 9 voluntarily withdrew (4 provided no reason, 5 withdrew due to time commitment); 10 met exclusion criteria; 11 completed the informed consent/screening visit. All 11 subjects that completed the informed consent/screening visit also completed all four arms of the study.

Fourteen iButtons will be adhered to the skin using adhesive tape on the calf, shin, front thigh, back thigh, foot, chest, upper back, lower back, forearm, hand, forehead, fingertip, toetip, and abdomen area to measure weighted skin temperature. Temperature readings will be taken every 30 minutes during the experiment. The mean value was calculated.
