- <p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p> <p>In this research, a realtime temperature logging system that logs human temperature into the computer<br>over a period was developed and the temperature chart produced is useful for diagnosis and research<br>purposes. The graphical representation within the threshold temperature (36°C) depicts normal body<br>temperature of a healthy person. An upshot beyond this temperature makes the logger to signal an<br>audible alarm for medical attention. It consists of hardware and software units. The hardware consists<br>of sensor NTC (negative coefficient of temperature) thermistor, pre-amp; analog to digital converter,<br>buffer between analog to digital converter and computer interface port. The software was developed in<br>Visual Basic 6.0 for interfacing through the parallel port of the computer and the program designed to<br>provide a user-friendly environment where the measurement can be read. There is high correlation<br>between the approach developed by this study and other standard measuring equipments —<br>correlation of 0.994574 with standard thermistor, and correlation of 0.997785 with standard<br>thermocouple. The temperature logged to the PC can also be viewed from another PC remotely located<br>over a network thus providing a good framework for telemedicine.</p> <p><br><strong>Key words:</strong> Diagnosis, remote logging, temperature measurement, thermistor, thermocouple.</p>
