摘要

The thermometer (13), to measure changes in a patient's body temperature, has a fastener and a temperature measurement chip and an interface for connection to a remote base unit (11), forming a temperature measurement system (1). The base unit has a display and a signal processing microprocessor chip. The thermometer, attached to the patient's body, measures temperature for transmission to the base unit. The base unit can determine whether the measured temperature is within an acceptable range, and generates an alarm signal if it breaches a threshold value.
