SENSOR UNIT FOR A PORTABLE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND INTEGRATION OF THE SENSOR UNIT

The invention relates to a sensor unit for determining the core body temperature by means for measured values which can be determined outside the body on a surface, comprising at least one heat flow sensor, and at least one temperature sensor, which can be easily compactly produced and installed and allows optimized determination of the core body temperature. This is achieved in that the sensor unit comprises at least one monolithic heat flow sensor in the form of a sandwich-like structure consisting of multiple layers of different materials and at least one temperature sensor, which are soldered onto a circuit board at a distance from one another or onto the circuit board at the same height along a longitudinal direction of the circuit board, wherein the sensors are connected to an analog-to-digital converter and a microcontroller via wires or strip conductors, the electronic components can be connected to the electronics of a portable computer system by means of connecting wires, and the sensor unit or the circuit board with electronic components arranged thereon is at least partially enclosed by a sensor unit sleeve in the transverse direction of the circuit board.
