Summary: Atypical body temperature values can be an indication of abnormal physiological processes associated with several health conditions. Infrared thermal (IRT) imaging is an innocuous imaging modality capable of capturing the natural thermal radiation emitted by the skin surface, which is connected to physiology-related pathological states. The implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) methods for interpretation of thermal data can be an interesting solution to supply a second opinion to physicians in a diagnostic/therapeutic assessment scenario. The aim of this work was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis concerning different biomedical thermal applications in conjunction with machine learning strategies. The bibliographic search yielded 68 records for a qualitative synthesis and 34 for quantitative analysis. The results show potential for the implementation of IRT imaging with AI, but more work is needed to retrieve significant features and improve classification metrics.
