Design and Construction of Wireless Thermometer
Abstract
The importance of the measurement of body temperature cannot be overemphasis. A person body temperature says a lot about their health conditions. Most of the diseases or infections can be detected by a change in body temperature. The most common form of increased body temperature is fever. The effectiveness of treatment given to the patience can be known through measuring of temperature. It is that accompanying, every 1 rise in system temperature is a 10% rise in the enzymes – control chemical reaction. At temperature of 43 and above, enzymes denatured, provoking death a certainty. Therefore, the temperature of a body needs to be measured regularly using a thermometer. The liquid in glass thermometer applications has several limitations, such as limited temperature range and precision. Hence the need to develop a high precision wireless thermometer that can provide more accurate measurements. The wireless thermometer consists of two parts, the transmitter and the receiver. The transmitter senses the temperature rise through its sensor connected to it and sends it to the receiver to display it on the LCD (liquid crystal display).
