Italian physicist, physician and experimenter born in Capodistria, from the current that tried to explain the phenomena physiological through the laws of mechanics, studied transpiration and presented the rudiment of the thermometer clinical. He published Ars de statica medicine (1611-1614), where he reported his experiments on metabolism, one of the first studies on metabolism.
He may have been the creator of the first thermometer (it could also have been Galileo, Fludd, Drebbell, etc.) as he measured, for the first time, the temperature of the human body with an instrument of this type (1626). He died in Venice and is considered the forerunner of biometrics, along with John Graunt (1620-1674).
Do not stop now... There's more after the advertising ;)
