A method of monitoring an internal body temperature of a patient includes detecting a skin temperature of the patient using a temperature sensor in a body-mountable temperature monitor attached to the patient; calculating, using the temperature sensor, a heat flux associated with the body-mountable temperature monitor based on selectively activating a heater in the body-mountable temperature monitor; and determining the internal body temperature of the patient using the skin temperature and the heat flux.

Body-mountable temperature monitor accounting for ambient conditions

An adhesive layer applicator for a body-mountable device is disclosed. The applicator includes a housing defining a first opening through which a chamber is accessible, and a plurality of adhesive layers and a plurality of adhesive liners alternately stacked on a floor that is movable within the chamber. The size and shape of the opening corresponds to the size and shape of the body-mountable device. The housing is configured to receive at least a portion of the body-mountable device through the opening. A second opening is formed in each adhesive layer in the plurality of adhesive layers and a gel is accommodated within the second openings.

Adhesive layer application device for wearable hardware

A method is disclosed that includes removing an adhesive layer from a lower housing of a monitoring device; aligning the monitoring device with an opening of an adhesive applicator; coupling an uppermost adhesive layer that is positioned within the adhesive applicator with the lower housing; and removing the monitoring device from the opening of the adhesive applicator. A shape of the lower housing of the monitor corresponds to the shape of the opening of the adhesive applicator; and aligning the monitoring device with the opening of the adhesive applicator comprises matching the orientation of the lower housing to the orientation of the opening in the adhesive applicator. The method also includes the monitoring device selectively entering a battery preservation mode.
