How to (de)serialize float list into models using Django REST Framework model serializer?

TL; DR

How to create both serializers.Patient and serializers.Temperature in such way that:

1. models.Patient has one-to-many relationship with models.Temperatures
2. serializers.Patient is a subclass of serializers.ModelSerializer
3. serializers.Patient (de)serialize temperatures as a list of floats

Details

Given a quick-dirty patient medical records RESTful API implemented with Django framework.

Patient is defined at models.Patient as:

class Patient(models.Model):
    created_at = models.DateField()
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    updated_at = models.DateField()

and the models.Temperature:

class Temperature(models.Model):
    created_at = models.DateField()
    patient = models.ForeignKey(
        Patient,
        db_column='patient',
        related_name='temperatures',
        on_delete=models.CASCADE,
    )
    updated_at = models.DateField()
    value = models.DateField()

CRUD operations at /patients (de)serialized models.Temperature as float lists, thus a POST should only require:

{
  "name": "John Connor",
  "temperatures": [36.7, 40, 35.9]
}

while a GET operation

{
  "created_at": "1985-03-25",
  "name": "John Connor",
  "temperatures": [36.7, 40, 35.9],
  "updated_at": "2021-08-29"
}

However operations at /patients/<id>/temperatures/ endpoint should return all properties:

[
  {
    "created_at": "1985-03-25",
    "value": 36.7,
    "updated_at": "2021-08-29"
  },
  {
    "created_at": "1985-03-25",
    "value": 40.0,
    "updated_at": "2021-08-29"
  },
  {
    "created_at": "1985-03-25",
    "value": 35.9,
    "updated_at": "2021-08-29"
  }
]

Can this feature be implemented subclassing standards DRF serializers or does it require a customized serializers.Serializer subclass?
