A thermometer includes a temperature sensor, a computation circuit, and a wireless communications circuit. The computation circuit includes a memory and a processor, with the memory storing program code to perform the various functions of the thermometer, including computing a temperature of the patient based upon the one or more readings, and to store this temperature in the memory. The processor may also store the time at which the readings were obtained and associate it with the stored temperature. The wireless communications circuit and the computation circuit are used to establish a wireless communications link with an external device to provide temperature values stored in the memory to the external device. The associated time of the stored temperature may also be communicated to the external device. The external device can be used to view the temperature readings and to configure the thermometer.一溫度計包括一溫度感測器、一運算電路、及一無線通訊電路。該運算電路包括一記憶體及一處理器，該記憶體儲存程式代碼以執行該溫度計的該等各項功能，包括基於該等一或多個讀數運算該病人之一溫度，及儲存此溫度於該記憶體。該處理器也可儲存獲得該等讀數之時間及將其與該經儲存的溫度相關聯。該無線通訊電路及該運算電路係用以建立與一外部裝置的一無線通訊鏈路用以提供儲存於該記憶體的溫度值給該外部裝置。該經儲存的溫度之該關聯時間也可被通訊給該外部裝置。該外部裝置可用以觀看該等溫度讀數及用以組配該溫度計。
