Cambridge Temperature Concepts Wireless Medical Temperature Sensor

Ken Cheung — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 16:53:21 +0000

Cambridge Temperature Concepts (CTC) announced a wireless temperature sensor that can measure body temperature to within a thousandth of a degree (current solutions typically have precision of a tenth of a degree). The coin sized unit also uses innovative power saving techniques to extend the battery life to in excess of six months rather than the usual life of a few days. The sensor’s precision and long life open up many new applications in the medical field.
