Hand-held medical-data capture-device having detection of body core temperature by a microprocessor from a signal from a digital infrared sensor on a separate circuit board with no A/D converter and having interoperation with electronic medical record static IP address system

A non-touch thermometer to measure a temperature, the non-touch thermometer comprising:

• a microprocessor;
• a wireless communication subsystem that is operably coupled to the microprocessor and that is operable to transmit a representation of the temperature;
• a battery operably coupled to the microprocessor;
• a digital infrared sensor operably coupled to the microprocessor with no analog-to-digital converter operably coupled between the digital infrared sensor and the microprocessor, the digital infrared sensor having only digital readout ports, the digital infrared sensor comprising a low noise amplifier, an analog-to-digital converter, a digital signal processor, and a pulse width modulator (PWM) in a single industry standard package;
• wherein the digital infrared sensor is configured with no need for recalibration after an initial factory calibration with an emissivity range from 0.1 to 1.0,
• wherein the microprocessor is operable to receive from the digital readout ports a digital signal that is representative of an infrared signal, the infrared signal acquired from a forehead of a user and detected by the digital infrared sensor, and the microprocessor is further operable to determine the temperature from the received digital signal by using the PWM.
