This study sought to assess the reliability of telemetry pill temperatures in relation to ingestion time when compared to the rectal temperature. Six subjects, comprising 3 males and 3 females, aged 29.8 ± 9.0 y, height of 168.5 ± 6.5 cm, body weight of 68.6 ± 17.7 kg, body mass index (BMI) of 23.9 ± 5.0 kg/m 2 , and body surface area of 1.77 ± 0.23 m 2 , participated in this study. All the subjects participated in a 24-h trial involving the ingestion of six telemetry pills at 80-min intervals commencing at 4:00 pm. Subjects adhered to their regular activities throughout the 24-h period. Our findings revealed that the temperatures of all six telemetry pills showed a 24-h circadian rhythm, mirroring that of the rectal temperature. However, the pill temperatures displayed more fluctuations in response to the consumption of water or food than those of the rectal temperature. Strong and positive correlations were identified between the rectal and pill temperatures, excluding those temperatures measured approximately 3-h prior to ingestion. No statistically significant differences were observed between rectal and pill temperatures in terms of maximum values, values during sleep, and 24-h averages. Nonetheless, there was a considerable standard deviation (SD) among the six subjects that contributed to these outcomes. We recommend that telemetry pills be ingested at least 3-h prior to the commencement of experiments, along with the controlling food and drinks.
However, additional investigations with a larger number of subjects are required to validate these findings. an attachment to actual fashion brands and the intention to use the platform.
As a marketing tool, it will be helpful in presenting new consumption value to fashion brands and retailers aiming to enhance their fashion brand image and establish various strategies using brand experience.
