THERMOMETER WITH WIRELESS FUNCTIONALITY

Title:

THERMOMETER WITH WIRELESS FUNCTIONALITY

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/046643

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

A thermometer includes a temperature sensor, a computation circuit, and a wireless communications circuit. The computation circuit includes a memory and a processor, with the memory storing program code to perform the various functions of the thermometer, including computing a temperature of the patient based upon the one or more readings, and to store this temperature in the memory. The processor may also store the time at which the readings were obtained and associate it with the stored temperature. The wireless communications circuit and the computation circuit are used to establish a wireless communications link with an external device to provide temperature values stored in the memory to the external device. The associated time of the stored temperature may also be communicated to the external device. The external device can be used to view the temperature readings and to configure the thermometer.
