The hybrid method, which combines differential transformation and finite difference approximation techniques, is utilized to solve hyperbolic-type heat conduction (bio-heat) problems in one dimension. To capture the thermal behavior in a living tissue subjected to constant or exponential surface heating with the thermal wave model of bio-heat transfer, the relaxation time and the heat wave, which propagates in a direction perpendicular to the skin surface, are considered. The results show that the hybrid method can be used to solve hyperbolic heat conduction problems accurately.
