Temperature measurement system

摘要

A method of determining a temperature of a patient includes measuring a first temperature of the patient with a temperature device, and measuring a second temperature of the patient. The method also includes determining a temperature value indicative of a core temperature of the patient based on at least one of the first and second temperatures.

主权项

1. A method of manufacturing a temperature
measurement device, comprising: providing a first sensing element configured to determine a temperature of a first anatomical structure of a patient without contacting the first anatomical structure; providing a second sensing element configured to determine a temperature of a second anatomical structure of the patient without contacting the second anatomical structure, wherein the second anatomical structure is different from the first anatomical structure; associating a controller with at least one of; the first sensing element and the second sensing element; connecting an imaging device to the controller; and programming the controller to:
capture, using the imaging device, a non-thermal image of the patient including the first and second anatomical structures,identify, using the non-thermal image, a location of the first anatomical structure and a location of the second anatomical structure;measure a temperature of the first anatomical structure by focusing a field of view of the first sensing element on the location of the first anatomical structure;measure a temperature of the second anatomical structure by focusing a field of view of the second sensing element on the location of the second anatomical structure, anddetermine a temperature of the patient based on the temperatures of at least one of the first and second anatomical structures.
