Hi,
My question is about the following sendor.
-- "MLX90614 Infrared Thermometer Module"
Can the above sensor be used for measuring body temprature of human beings?
If yes, will it be as precise as ordinary digital thermometer used by doctors and physicians?
Regards.

-20 to 120 °C, with an output resolution of 0.14 °C.
human body is 36.1–37.8 °C so yes it will do that range.
as for as accurate as doctors or physicians that depends on how accurate a thermometer they are using but i doubt more then 0.1deg of accuracy and if i am not mistaken the ear type thermometers are infrared.

24 bit LCD Breakout Board now in. $24.99 has backlight driver and touch sensitive decoder.
If you have not already. Add yourself to the prophead map
I thought the standard sensor has an accuracy of +/-0.5C, so 37.5 could be 37 or 38. Not really enough to measure fever.
