Abstract:
1. A method for monitoring body temperature, comprising the steps of: measuring one or more temperature values by sensors at known locations on one or more bodies; transmitting the measured temperature values and corresponding sensor identifications from the sensors to a monitoring device; receiving the measured temperature values and corresponding sensor identifications by the monitoring device; comparing the received sensor identifications with sensor identifications in a sensor registration table for determining a unique sensor manufacturer registration number, a sensor position, a body age, and alarm limits associated with each sensor; computing adjusted temperature values from the measured temperature values based on the known body locations of the corresponding sensors; storing the received measured temperature values, the adjusted temperature values, the sensor identification numbers, a sensor status, a time and date indication, an end indicator, and a new entry indicator as a sensor entry in a multiple sensor data table; and displaying the adjusted temperature values for use by a caretaker.
