Abstract :
This work presents a method for making temperature and humidity measurements within the nasal cavity. First, the need for obtaining such measurements and the necessity of implementing such a practical set up is pointed out. Then, a measuring scheme is presented with focused characteristics like accuracy, and fast response to the quantities being monitored.
