What is a Digital Thermometer?

A digital thermometer is a temperature-sensing instrument that is easily portable, has permanent probes, and a convenient digital display. The way a digital thermometer works depends upon its type of sensor. Sensor types include resistance temperature detector (RTD), thermocouple, and thermistor.

Why is a digital thermometer preferred to a clinical thermometer nowadays?

A digital clinical thermometer has the following advantages.

• Takes measurements quicker.
• Has better resolution (Is easier to accurately read)
• Do not use mercury, which can be harmful in some specific cases if released by breakage. 
• Do not subject the patient to the hazard of broken glass in the mouth if they bite down and break the thermometer.
• Is less expensive than liquid in glass clinical thermometers.

A liquid in glass clinical thermometer has the following advantages.

• Holds in accuracy over longer periods with less chance of inaccurate readings.
• Is easier to disinfect.
• These two advantages are compensated for by using throw-away sterile sleeves and training the user in basic checks of accuracy and function of digital clinical thermometers.
