British hospitals enable swallowable thermometers: accurate monitoring of patient temperature

British hospitals have begun to use a mini-intelligent Thermometer that can be swallowed to more accurately monitor patient temperature. It is the same size as a common pill. After the patient swallows, the thermometer passes through the digestive tract. The built-in sensor detects the body temperature and sends body temperature information to the handheld monitoring device every 30 seconds. Thermometers are usually excreted from the body after one to three days.

This smart thermometer measures from 25 degrees Celsius to 45 degrees Celsius. The doctor can set the "warning line" in advance. Once the patient's temperature exceeds the boundary, the thermometer will send an alarm and display it on the monitor. Studies have shown that smart thermometers are more accurate than conventional armpits and oral temperature measurements.

The British "Daily Mail" quoted Stefana Benal, an associate professor of physiology at the University of Caen in France, on the 18th. The smart thermometer helps to improve the care of patients, so that medical staff can get an "early warning" before the patient's condition worsens. ", thus saving lives. In the future, patients may use this smart device to monitor their physical condition at home, eliminating the need for hospitalization.
