A TEMPERATURE MEASURING DEVICE AND A SYSTEM FOR COMMUNICATING A BODY TEMPERATURE

摘要

A temperature measuring device for measuring an instantaneous or continuous temperature of a user at their axilla, the temperature measuring device comprising: a processor for processing digital data; a memory device for storing digital data including computer program code and being coupled to the processor; a temperature sensor adapted for sensing the instantaneous or continuous temperature of the user in use and being coupled to the processor to output an instantaneous or continuous temperature data to the processor; and a wireless communication interface adapted for transmitting data, the wireless communication interface is operably coupled to the processor for one-way transmission of the instantaneous or continuous temperature data via the wireless communication interface in use. Also, a releasable strap arrangement for attaching to a user comprising an accessory portion adapted for supporting an accessory, the strap arrangement being such that in use, the accessory portion is located in proximity to an axilla of the user. Also a mobile communication device for alerting a user, the mobile communication device comprising: a processor for processing digital data; a memory device for storing digital data including computer program code and being coupled to the processor, and a wireless communication interface for sending and receiving digital data across a data network, wherein the processor is controlled by the computer program code to: receive, via the wireless communication interface, body temperature data from a temperature measuring device; and alert the user in accordance with body temperature data.
