Abstract
An electronic clinical thermometer successively stores the temperature detected at a portion of a body, and measures the time which has elapsed since start of measurement. The thermometer repeats, periodically, a process of obtaining and displaying a predicted value of a stable temperature from the detected temperature and elapsed measurement time on the basis of a stable temperature prediction function in which measurement time is a variable, the temperature prediction function defining a temperature change up to a final, stable temperature. The prediction computation is halted when, after the elapsed measurement time has exceeded a prescribed magnitude and a difference exhibited by the detected temperature corresponding to two successive points in time no longer shows an increase outside a prescribed range, the detected temperature corresponding to a present point in time exhibits a decrease outside a prescribed range when compared with the detected temperature at the preceding point in time.
