摘要 |
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a temperature sensing device that can comprise an elastic ring structure. The temperature sensing device can further comprise a transducer device, such as a temperature sensor, and a microprocessor, memory and wireless transmitter. Such an arrangement can incorporate a passive (battery free), battery assisted or active battery powered transponder circuit with temperature measurement capability. The elastic ring, structure can be forced in a spring loaded state when elastically deformed thus becoming retained when disposed in a vaginal vault. In one embodiment, an active RF receiver or an RFID reader is brought in proximity to the temperature sensing and transmitting device arrangement, such as near a woman's pelvis from the outside to read the temperature and record it in a Central Processing Unit, CPU, associated with the receiver or RFID reader, such as a portable, handheld computer or wireless device. |

1. A method comprising:
receiving sensor data in a flexible sensing device, said flexible sensing device comprising a flexible circuit arrangement having at least one temperature sensor, a microcontroller, a communication coupler, and a communication transmitter, said flexible circuit arrangement disposed within a flexible ring configured for insertion into a vaginal vault of a user; processing by said microcontroller received sensor data, in-situ; and in response to processing the received sensor data, providing a communication notification from said flexible ring to an external receiver via said communication coupler, wherein said notification is related to a state of physiologic change of the user. |
