        abstract = {Fever in young children is taken seriously by healthcare professionals as it indicates an
underlying infection which can be life-threatening. Core body temperature can be accurately
measured using traditional techniques, but these are not suitable for non-invasive monitoring
during normal life. This study investigates the possibility of fever monitoring in children
under 2 years of age in a non-clinical setting based on various local skin temperatures.
Various system designs are presented, i.e. single vs multi-sensor systems, and a set of sensors
either localized or distributed across the body. The probability of positive fever identification
on feverish children ranges from {\texttt{\char126}}40\% to 77\% using 1 and 5 sensors respectively, while the
detected false positives are a 10\%. We conclude that a continuous and non-invasive fever
monitoring in children under 2 years is possible by the propose method, providing a suitable
solution for early fever detection and alert.},
