REMOTE TEMPERATURE MONITORING SYSTEM

摘要

A system for monitoring and recording the body temperature of a subject includes a thermal sensor adapted to be supported in contact with the subject's body, a microprocessor based programmable information appliance having a display, and an application program for the appliance adapted to process the electrical signals generated by the sensor and time signals to create a display constituting a plot of body temperature versus time. The information used to generate the display may be transmitted to a remote computer for access by healthcare professionals over a public network and feedback information can be provided over the public network to the display of the information appliance.
