Abstract
A device for training medical personnel to measure a simulated patient's temperature is provided. The device includes at least one sensor configured to measure an attribute of the device's motion. A display and a wireless communications device are provided. A controller is electrically coupled to the at least one sensor, the display and the wireless communications device, the controller having a processor that is responsive to executable computer instructions to display a value on the display in response to the at least one sensor measuring the attribute.

A device for training medical personnel to measure a simulated patient's temperature, the device comprising:
- at least one sensor configured to measure an attribute of the device's motion;
- a display;
- a communications device;
- and
- a controller electrically coupled to the at least one sensor, the display and the communications device, the controller having a processor that is responsive to executable computer instructions to display a simulated patient temperature value on the display in response to the at least one sensor measuring the attribute.
A method of training medical personnel using a simulated patient, the method comprising:
- providing a thermometer device having at least one sensor for monitoring an attribute of the thermometer device's motion, the thermometer device further having a display and a wireless communication device;
- placing the thermometer device against a surface of the simulated patient;
- determining a first value with the sensor;
- receiving a first signal with the wireless communication device;
- displaying a second value on the display.
