A wearable device can include one or more temperatures sensors. Data from the one or more temperature sensors provide information, which can be used for the determination of the body temperature of a user wearing the electronic device. The accuracy of the determination of the body temperature of the user is dependent on variables such as the contact condition of the electronic device with the user. By determining the contact condition of the electronic device with the user, including measurements corresponding to one or more thermal emitters being in an activated state, the electronic device is optionally able to determine the contact condition and/or a correction factor, and thereby more accurately determine the temperature of the user.
An electronic device, comprising:
A method comprising:
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions, which when executed by an electronic device including one or more temperature sensors, one or more emitters, and processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to:
