Thermoregulatory models based on thermoreceptors have attracted the attention of researchers in recent years due to their conformity with the basis of human thermal perception. For this reason, various models have been presented such as STB, ITB, MSTB and JOSTB. In the present study and in continuation of previous studies, an individual multi-segment thermoregulatory bioheat (IMTB) model has been introduced which can evaluate the temperature of various segments of the body by considering the effects of individual parameters such as height, weight, age and gender. In this study, the body is subdivided into 17 segments, 3 layers and the blood circulatory system consists of arteries, veins and superficial veins. Also, the effects of individual parameters on physiological parameters, thermoregulatory mechanisms and heat transfer of the body have been investigated. Finally, the performance of the new model in predicting local and mean skin temperature was validated against different experimental data. The results indicate that by considering the individual parameters, the new model can precisely predict the local skin temperature with mean absolute error of 0.4℃.
