Abstract :
The author introduces a body-temperature-transmitter-body-temperature-radio pill which can be swallowed or implanted. It shows the internal temperature under natural conditions with an accuracy of ±0.1°C. The dimensions are 6.5 mm diameter and 26-28 mm length. Using a 5.5 mm diameter×3.0 mm thick lithium battery, the pill can operated continuously for one month
