The idea is clear. I cannot believe there is no such application yet.

A prototype for this can be coded in a matter of days by an experienced web
developer. I wonder Openstreetmap has sufficient data for this.

I assume the temperature readings will be collected in the field ? or in a
hospital ? Is the application that would be running on the rasberry or tablet
already available ?

I am not aware of any application that does what you are after. However given
some ressources I am sure a prototype can be coded in a matter of days.
On a side note. A few years back we had a prototype in GNUmed where an older
Nokia phone received an SMS (for weight and blood pressure) and a software
listening on a connected computer put this information into the patient
record.
Today I would even evaluate a smartphone with GPS. An app would get the GPS
position, fill a template SMS (manually entered temperature) and send the SMS
I admit I have not thought through how to power the "smartphone" in the field.
I guess attaching the charger everyday is not an option.
