Development of a Thermometric Glove for Monitoring the Limbs of a Person Who Has Received Cold Trauma

Resumo

In this paper, we describe a prototype for automated monitoring of the temperature of a person’s limbs. We developed a unit named “thermometric glove” for use in treatment of frostbite injuries. The thermometric glove is cable of measuring the surface temperature of a limb at several points of mounting, perform automatic recording, and store temperature values ​​in the internal memory. Two versions of the device and the results of approbation and experimental exploitation of prototypes are present.
