Abstract :
The present paper reports the development of a temperature data logger based on a temperature sensitive resistive film and an RFID tag. Thanks to its capability of wireless communication, the device is going to be used for a minimally invasive remote monitoring of the skin temperature under a bandage or a wound dressing.
