An interesting partnership reported

One of the recent articles that a Google News search produced for me described an interesting partnership between a highly reputable companies.  The timepiece manufacturer, Timex, and the Korey Stringer Institute (known for researching and education of the athletic population on the dangers of heat illness) recently joined forces.  I was intrigued that Timex would have the inside knowledge of the research that is occurring at KSI and would be able to design products that would aid in the detection of problems while exercising.  It would be my hope that somehow, they would be able to find a way to monitor body core temperature reliably and be able to transmit the data to a watch or even an iPod.  I realize that the only methods of measuring temperature reliably at the moment are with a rectal thermometer or with a disposable, ingestible thermometer.  It would be my hope that with this merger and using some creative engineering, that these two would be able to develop a practical, reliable, and inexpensive method of monitoring body core temperature.  That is something I would pay for VERY quickly.
