ABSTRACT:
A temperature radio telemetry system combined with an alarm clock, intended for home settings. The alarm clock can be a digital alarm clock, or a radio alarm clock, or a computer running an alarm clock subroutine, devices nearly ubiquitous in private homes. The telemetry receiver is integrated with the alarm clock in a bedside enclosure, or is plugged in the parallel or serial port of the computer. The telemetry system principally detects the skin temperature elevation in infants and children with fever, especially at night, and subsequently triggers an alarm for the parents. The system can also detect the peripheral skin temperature drop in diabetic patients with early symptoms of hypoglycemia, or the small temperature rise associated with ovulation. The telemetry link has several fail-safe attributes, is operable without a license, and resists to interference by using a running median data smoothing method. The transmitter is simple, inexpensive, and child-safe. The receiver shares many common parts and functions with the alarm clock or the computer, and therefore becomes inexpensive enough to be affordable by any household.
