Abstract:
A voice thermoscan comprising a main body, said main body comprising a sensor circuit, a microprocessor, a liquid crystal display, an electronic erasable programmable read-only memory, and a communication interface;said sensor circuit senses an infrared heat at a temperature point on a patient's eardrum and sends a signal corresponding to a sensed temperature to said microprocessor;said microprocessor samples and digitizes said signal sent from said sensor circuit, and compares said digitized signal with corrected data stored in said electronic erasable programmable read-only memory to verify a temperature value of said infrared heat, said microprocessor then outputs a result to said liquid crystal display for display, said microprocessor also outputs said result to said communication interface which includes audible signal means that indicate said temperature value by audible means, and said microprocessor further includes a timing means that automatically turns off a power supply of said voice thremorscan after a period of non-use.
