a possible future robot ...

Today I heard from a friend how cheap it is to buy a Non-Contact IR Infrared Digital Thermometer Laser Point from ebay(Hong Kong of course). Suddenly something came to my mind that I can de-assemble one of these products and use it as one of the abilities of a robot that could be going around in hospitals & doing stuffs instead of people. One of these abilities could be measuring the body temperature of the patients without even touching them(waking them up). I have checked & the accuracy of these thermometer is around ± 2% which makes it acceptable(???), but of course now I am talking about a prototype. A final model should be using one of the most accurate thermometers in the market as long as it has responsibilities for people's life.
yet another useful link, but same accuracy : http://www.metrisinst.com/products/details?id=315
