Abstract

An improved electronic tympanic thermometer has been developed. Thermal feedback is used to lower measurement error, response time and potential cost, and to obviate the need for actual contact with the tympanic membrane. With this technique core temperature can be monitored with increased effectiveness and reduced risk.
