<p>A temperature telemetric sender and a temperature telemeter (50) using one or more of the senders with a single or common receiver (64) are provided. The temperature telemetric sender includes a sensor (52) to measure a temperature of a body cavity, preferably an ear canal, of a subject. A transmitter (60) coupled to the sensor is responsive to the sensor and transmits a signal indicative of the temperature of the body cavity. The receiver (64) receives the signal wirelessly from the transmitter. The temperature values received by the receiver may be compensated for changes in ambient temperature, measured at the sender or receiver, and may be converted into an estimation of a core body temperature. The temperatures may be displayed, preferably as a series of temperatures displayed graphically. An alarm (66) may be provided when the received signal, or a temperature value derived from it, is indicative of a temperature equaling a predetermined temperature or falling outside a predetermined temperature range. Intermediate transceivers, which relay temperature signals from respective senders to the common receiver, may be used to extend the operational range.</p> |
