Abstract: A temperature measuring device and a temperature measuring method are provided which are capable of obtaining precise measured temperature values with respect even to old persons, sucklings or infants, which device may be formed into a disposable type according to need, which method may be carried out using such a disposable type device according to need, and which enable precise temperature measurement in real time. An on-subject temperature measuring device 1, which is attached to a subject when a temperature of the subject is measured, receives a radio wave from a reader 2 as an external device and is thereby electrically powered. Using the electric power, temperature measurement is performed in the on-subject temperature measuring device 1. The results of the measurement are transmitted through radio waves to the reader 2 in the form of a temperature of the subject and ID data.
