mgb_phys said:There's a range of solutions from throwing eggs at them and seeing if any start to fry, or putting a thermometer in their mouth and using a telescope to read it
What are you trying to do
mgb_phys said:Do you want to measure a patient's temperature from a distance by infrared
or do you want to transmit the date from a digital thermometer to a remote point?
mgb_phys said:You need to get the data out of the thermometer (probably a serial link)
Then you need to identify an individual thermometer, either by having a separate channel for each or by tagging the data with an id.
Then you just need a central receiever/display.
ps. It's not worth it, the certification/liability costs means that you can't build anything for medical use for less than $<VERY LARGE NUMBER>
mgb_phys said:So you have an existing wireless data link that you need to interface to?
Talk to the maker/get the specs, we can;t really help with that
Remote monitoring of patient temperature is a method of continuously tracking a patient's body temperature using a thermometer that is connected to a remote monitoring system. This allows healthcare professionals to monitor a patient's temperature remotely, without having to be physically present.
This process involves placing a thermometer on the patient's body, which is then connected to a remote monitoring system. The thermometer sends temperature readings to the system, which can be accessed by healthcare professionals through a computer or mobile device. The readings are typically displayed in real-time, allowing for immediate action if a patient's temperature becomes too high or too low.
There are several benefits to remote monitoring of patient temperature. It allows for continuous and accurate monitoring of a patient's temperature, which can be especially helpful for patients with conditions that require close temperature management. It also reduces the need for frequent temperature checks by healthcare professionals, saving time and resources.
Yes, remote monitoring of patient temperature is considered safe. The thermometer used is typically non-invasive and does not pose any risks to the patient. The remote monitoring system is also secure and compliant with privacy laws, ensuring the safety and confidentiality of a patient's health information.
Remote monitoring of patient temperature can be a useful tool in addition to traditional temperature monitoring methods. However, it should not completely replace physical temperature checks by healthcare professionals, especially in emergency situations. It is best used as a supplement for continuous monitoring and early detection of changes in a patient's temperature.
