1. A device comprising:

  • a first circuit board including;

    a microprocessor;

    a battery that is operably coupled to the microprocessor;

    a display device that is operably coupled to the microprocessor;

    a first digital interface that is operably coupled to the microprocessor;

    a second circuit board including;

    a second digital interface, the second digital interface being that is operably coupled to the first digital interface; and

    a digital infrared sensor that is operable to receive an infrared signal, the digital infrared sensor also being operably coupled to the second digital interface, the digital infrared sensor having a port that provides a digital signal representing a temperature,wherein the microprocessor is operable to receive from the port of the digital infrared sensor the digital signal representing the temperature and the microprocessor is operable to determine a body core temperature from the digital signal that is representative of the temperature, andwherein no analog-to-digital converter is operably coupled between the digital infrared sensor and the microprocessor.
