Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the topic of remote monitoring of patient temperature, focusing on various methods, technologies, and circuit designs that could be employed in such systems. Participants explore both theoretical and practical aspects of implementing wireless temperature monitoring solutions in a healthcare setting.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant humorously suggests unconventional methods for measuring temperature, prompting a request for more serious technical guidance.
  • Another participant references a specific case study involving RFID technology used in a hospital setting for temperature monitoring.
  • A participant expresses a need for detailed information on the circuitry and components necessary for building a wireless temperature monitoring system, including RF transmitters/receivers and microcontrollers.
  • There is a question about whether the goal is to measure temperature from a distance using infrared or to transmit data from a digital thermometer to a remote location.
  • One participant outlines a basic framework for a wireless temperature monitoring system, mentioning the need for a microprocessor to continuously monitor temperature and raise alarms when thresholds are exceeded.
  • Another participant discusses the importance of data transmission methods, suggesting the use of a serial link and the need for unique identification of thermometers.
  • Concerns are raised about the high costs associated with certification and liability for medical devices, suggesting that building such systems may not be economically feasible.
  • A request for more specific technical information regarding sensors, voltage-controlled oscillators (VCO), and frequency modulation (FM) is made.
  • One participant advises consulting the manufacturer for specifications if an existing wireless data link is involved.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express varying levels of knowledge and interest in the technical details of remote temperature monitoring systems. There is no consensus on specific methods or technologies, and multiple competing views regarding the feasibility and complexity of such systems remain evident.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not reached a resolution on the best approach to remote temperature monitoring, and there are unresolved questions regarding the specific technologies and components required for implementation.

hello

can anyone give me any idea about (Remote monitoring of patient teperature)
 
Physics news on Phys.org
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

thank u but this answer is not useful because i don't want news,
but i need the step about who to do like this work

i want to now what is the circuit that must be use
 
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?

i want how the wireless temperature monitor allowing the status of the patients in different hospital room to be remotely monitored by doctors and nurses. A micro processor is used to watch the patient temperature continously from a remote place. Once the patient temperature exceeds its threshold, the micro processor will raise an alarm and inform. The project will involve RF transmitter/receiver, microcontroller.
 
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>

yes

but i need more information about the sensor , vco , fm modulation ... ect , that used in this case

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
