This study aimed to evaluate the reliability of a patch-type sensor on the upper chest region that uses a dual-heat -flux method to estimate core temperature under various heat conditions. The participants' esophageal and rectal temperatures (Teso and Trec) were measured with real-time monitoring of predicted core temperature (Tpre) using the patch. Twenty-one volunteers wearing work clothes and nine volunteers wearing protective clothing walked (5.0 km/h) for an hour at 35 degrees C. During exercise, Teso increased to 37.9 +/- 0.3 degrees C and 38.2 +/- 0.2 degrees C for each group, respectively. The root mean squared errors (RMSEs) were 0.18 +/- 0.05 degrees C and 0.25 +/- 0.08 degrees C between Teso and Tpre and were 0.31 +/- 0.10 degrees C and 0.34 +/- 0.11 degrees C between Trec and Tpre in each clothing condition, respectively. In addition, 11 volunteers walked for an hour at 30 degrees C or 40 degrees C. The Teso during exercise increased to 37.7 +/- 0.3 degrees C and 38.2 +/- 0.3 degrees C, respectively. The RMSEs were 0.23 +/- 0.10 degrees C and 0.18 +/- 0.05 degrees C between Teso and Tpre in each ambient temperature condition, respectively. Furthermore, eight volunteers performed an arm-cranking exercise (60 W) for 30 min at 35 degrees C. The Teso increased to 37.9 +/- 0.2 degrees C during exercise. The RMSEs were 0.22 +/- 0.07 degrees C between Teso and Tpre. The proportions of all paired measurements differing by less than the predefined threshold for validity of
