Abstract :
The paper describes the requirements for industrial quality testing of healthcare products. This work concerned the design and experimental investigation to be performed to characterise the quality of thermal patches. The initial work consisted of studying the thermal behaviour of heat patches under controlled environment with different simulated skin temperatures and humidity values.
