<p>An electronic clinical thermometer in which at least a temperature detecting portion or the whole electronic thermometer has such a flexible structure as to be fitted to any part of the surface of the body and which is capable of automatically measuring the body temperature or the temperature of the surface of the body for extended periods of time. The thermometer preferably comprises a power-source cell and a thermometric storage circuit which stores in the memory the temperature data obtained from a temperature sensing portion at predetermined periods, and which reads the temperature data stored in the memory in response to data reading requests from outside to send the temperature data from a predetermined signal fetching portion to an external unit. These portions and circuits are mounted on a flexible circuit substrate, and the whole structure of the electronic clinical thermometer is hermetically covered with a flexible, heat-insulating covering member except the temperature sensing portion and the signal fetching portion.</p> |
