Abstract

A portable body temperature continuous monitoring system includes a wearable thermal detecting device, a recording device, a displaying device and an alarming device. The recording device records and stores a human body temperature detected by the wearable thermal detecting device, and then transmits a temperature signal to the displaying device and the alarming device through a wireless method. Thereby, remote and continuous monitoring of a patient'"'"'s body temperature through the displaying device is possible. Besides, since the system is capable of communicating outward through the alarming device, the patient'"'"'s abnormal body temperature can be reported to others so that proper treatment can be conducted timely.

Claims

1. A portable body temperature continuous monitoring system, comprising:

a wearable thermal detecting device, for being worn by a person to continuously detect body temperature of the person;

a recording device, for recording and storing the body temperature detected by the wearable thermal detecting device as a temperature signal;

a displaying device, for receiving the temperature signal from the recording device and displaying the person'"'"'s present body temperature in a real-time manner; and

an alarming device, for receiving the temperature signal from the recording device, and giving out a warning immediately when the temperature signal is abnormal.

2. The portable body temperature continuous monitoring system of claim 1, wherein the wearable thermal detecting device comprises:

a cloth piece, equipped with an accommodating pocket and at least one conductor extending from the accommodating pocket to a portion of the cloth piece corresponding in position to an axilla of the person; and

at least one thermal detecting element, provided at the portion of the cloth piece corresponding in position to the person'"'"'s axilla and having a contacting end for connecting with the conductor.

3. The portable body temperature continuous monitoring system of claim 2, wherein the accommodating pocket and the conductor are made of stainless steel staple fibers.

4. The portable body temperature continuous monitoring system of claim 2, wherein the connecting end of the thermal detecting element is made of a nickel-based conductive paste.

5. The portable body temperature continuous monitoring system of claim 2, wherein the accommodating pocket is provided for receiving the recording device.

6. The portable body temperature continuous monitoring system of claim 1, wherein the recording device has at least one receiving end.

7. The portable body temperature continuous monitoring system of claim 6, wherein the receiving end is made of a nickel-based conductive paste.

8. The portable body temperature continuous monitoring system of claim 1, wherein the recording device has a signal transmitter.

9. The portable body temperature continuous monitoring system of claim 1, wherein the recording device further comprises a microcomputer controller, a memory, a signal modulating and decrypting unit, a timing unit, an activity detecting unit, a power supplying element, a charging circuit, an induction coil, a power regulating unit and a power supply end.

10. The portable body temperature continuous monitoring system of claim 1, wherein the displaying device further comprises a signal receiver.

11. The portable body temperature continuous monitoring system of claim 1, wherein the displaying device displays the person'"'"'s body temperature in an alphabetical or numeric form.

12. The portable body temperature continuous monitoring system of claim 1, wherein the displaying device further comprises a microcomputer controller, a memory, a signal modulating and decrypting unit, a voice chip, an amplifier, a display unit, a plurality of control buttons, a power supplying element, a power regulating unit and a power supply end.

13. The portable body temperature continuous monitoring system of claim 1, wherein the alarming device comprises:

a signal receiver, for receiving the temperature signal from the recording device;

an amplifier, for giving out an alarming sound or a voice warning when the temperature signal is abnormal; and

a telecom interface, to be integrated with a telephone for dialing a preset pone number and giving out a voice message.

14. The portable body temperature continuous monitoring system of claim 1, wherein the alarming device further comprises a microcomputer controller, a memory, a signal modulating and decrypting unit, a hand-free device, a microphone, a plurality of dial keys, a dialing unit, a detecting unit, a voice chip, a timing unit, a power input end, a power regulating unit and a power supply end.
