1. A monitoring system for measuring the vital signs such as temperature, respiration and heart beat of a patient comprising:

  • a housing designed for body contact with the skin of the patient;

    means for securing said housing on a patient'"'"'s body;

    clock timing means disposed in said housing for generating time based signals;

    logic means connected to said clock timing means and being responsive to said time based signals for selecting the proper combinations of said time based signals;

    a temperature sensor coupled to sid logic means and disposed on said housing for measuring the body temperature of the human subject;

    microphone means coupled to said logic means and mounted in said housing for detecting respiratory and cardiac sounds;

    solid state memory means having coded information temperature, respiration and cardiac signals and coupled to said logic means for sequencing said logic means to take a plurality of temperature, cardiac and respiratory readings at a preset real time and to compare said measured readings with said coded information signals;

    data storage means for sequentially recording each of the stabilized temperature, respiration and cardiac readings that were measured; and

    display means on said housing responsive to said solid state memory means and said logic means for indicating the magnitude of the temperature, respiration and heart beat of the patient.
