Physiological parameter measuring system

[0017]Various embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals represent like parts and assemblies throughout the several views.

[0018]In general, a system in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a quick response in monitoring a physiological parameter of a subject, thereby allowing instant measurements of the parameter associated with the subject. In some examples, the system of the present disclosure includes a body-worn sensing patch (e.g., a temperature monitoring patch) that is activated to detect a physiological parameter (e.g., a body temperature) of the subject and communicate with a reading device via a wireless communication link. In some examples, the sensing patch is designed for a single use. When the sensing device is first attached to the subject's body or reattached to the body after detached, there exists a thermal unbalance between the subject's body and the sensing device t...
