The present invention provides a patch-type thermometer system comprising a body temperature display terminal and a patch-type thermometer. The patch-type thermometer: comprises a flexible printed circuit board, a temperature sensor, an insulating layer attached to the temperature sensor, a heat transfer member for transferring heat to the temperature sensor, a GND region formed at the periphery of the heat transfer member, an exposure hole attached to the temperature sensor, and a protection member; is attached to the skin of a user to measure a body temperature; and transmits a user ID, related app information, and body temperature data in an NFC-based manner. The terminal forms a magnetic field by tagging the patch-type thermometer, requests body temperature measurement, and receives the user ID, the related app information, and the body temperature data from the patch-type thermometer to calculate a body temperature value.

An electrode system includes an electrode, a connector, and a cable with an in- line radio-frequency filter module comprising resistors and inductors without any deliberately added capacitance. The resistors are arranged in an alternating series of resistors and inductors, preferably with resistors at both outer ends, and connected electrically in series. The in-line module is located at a specific location along the wire, chosen through computer modeling and real-world testing for minimum transfer of received RF energy to a patient's skin, such as between 100 cm and 150 cm from the electrode end of a 240 centimeter cable. The total resistance of the resistors plus cable, connectors and solder is 1000 ohms or less; while the total inductance is roughly 1560 nanohenries. The inductors do not include ferrite or other magnetic material and are, together with the resistors, stock components thereby simplifying manufacture and reducing cost.
