JPH1147136A - Microcomputer built-in bracelet type lady basal clinical thermometer - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To measure body temperature with high accuracy while sleeping by forming a basal clinical thermometer into a bracelet shape, and wearing it on an upper arm section. SOLUTION: This basal clinical thermometer is constituted of a display 2, a microcomputer 3, a sensor 4, and a bracelet 5 into a bracelet shape. When it is worn with the sensor 4 kept in contact with the inside of an upper arm, a body temperature change is measured and analyzed during a sleep. It has no danger unlike a mercury clinical thermometer made of glass, and it can objectively analyze all body temperatures during the sleep with high accuracy. It can detect the body temperature during the rapid eye movement(REM) sleep in several hours before awakening when basal metabolism is most reduced, and it eliminates the anxiety that measurement is forgotten at the time of rising in the morning.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention is effective in medical treatment. Although this basal thermometer is an electronic thermometer, it is simple and easy to measure by measuring the body temperature at bedtime every 10 minutes to reduce the measurement error and further analyze the body temperature in the state with the lowest basal metabolism from the measurement results. Not only that, it provides gynecologists with more accurate information than conventional mercury thermometers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The recording of basal body temperature is very important in obstetrics and gynecology, especially in infertility treatment, but there is currently no precision suitable for medical level in electronic gynecology for women, and there is some danger. Nevertheless, the mouth temperature at the time of getting up is measured with a glass mercury thermometer.

[0003]

The intraoral measurement of a mercury thermometer involves some danger when lying down when waking up. However, current electronic thermometers are simple, fast and safe, but have low measurement accuracy, and cannot be used in medical practice. Therefore, a high-precision electronic basal thermometer was devised.

[0004]

By using a bracelet type, there is no danger like a mercury thermometer made of glass, and a high-precision analysis of body temperature is possible because it covers all body temperatures during bedtime. True basal temperature is the temperature at which basal metabolism is at its lowest. At present, the body temperature at the time of awakening in the early morning is used as the basal body temperature, but it is known that basal metabolism decreases most during REM sleep several hours before awakening. By using this basal thermometer, the body temperature in the state where basal metabolism is most reduced can be known. In addition, since the device is worn at bedtime, the trouble of forgetting the measurement when getting up as in the related art is reduced.

Claims (3)

[Claims] 1. A bracelet-type female thermometer. The sensor is applied to the inside of the upper arm to sleep, and the thermometer itself analyzes changes in body temperature during sleep. 2. A microcomputer is built in, and the body temperature is recorded every 10 minutes after wearing. The recorded body temperature is analyzed by the program and the numerical value is displayed as the basal body temperature. In this case, the lowest temperature among all the measured body temperatures is displayed as the basal body temperature, but the body temperature deviating from the average (standard deviation plus, minus 2 SD or more) is excluded. 3. The sensor part is made of metal having good thermal conductivity.
The metal constituted the inner part of the bracelet-type thermometer. Further, the outer portion was made of a resin having poor thermal conductivity.
