1. A temperature measurement apparatus comprising:
- a first temperature sensor configured to provide a signal related to skin temperature;
a second temperature sensor configured to provide a signal related to ambient room temperature;
an insulating barrier disposed between the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor;
a processing unit in communication with the first and second temperature sensors, the processing unit configured to calculate body temperature based at least upon signals provided by the first and second temperature sensors; and
a flexible printed circuit board, wherein the processing unit is disposed on the printed circuit board.

Abstract
A body temperature measurement device includes a unit (2) that continually measures body temperature and transmits the measurement through an RF transmitter (14) to a display unit (30). The display unit (30) includes an RF receiver (37), a processor (33), and a display (35) that shows the temperature. The display unit (30) includes an adjustable threshold alarm circuit that turns on an alarm whenever the temperature rises above a defined threshold.
