Abstract
A system and method for monitoring the health of an animal using multiple sensors is described. The wearable device may include one or more sensors whose resultant signal levels may be analyzed in the wearable device or uploaded to a data management server for additional analysis. In one example, paired thermometers are used to estimate a core temperature of the animal, with one of the thermometers facing inward toward the animal and the other thermometer facing away from the animal.
