Abstract
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.
