1. A method for indirectly determining a core body temperature of a person comprising:
- setting an initial core body temperature at a mobile device comprising a heart rate monitor having a plurality of electrodes, a processor, and a display;
receiving at least two heart rates of the person with the processor, where the heart rates are detected by the heart rate monitor using the plurality of electrodes attached to the person;
calculating a predicted core body temperature with the processor using an extended Kalman filter based solely on the second heart rate and the initial core body temperature; and
providing the predicted core body temperature to the display, andwherein the initial core body temperature is set by the processor based solely on the first heart rate of the person.
