1. A method for a two-phase wakeup of a body-mountable electronic device, the method comprising:
deploying the body-mountable electronic device onto a body of a user, wherein the deploying is associated with a first deployment indicator;
in response to an indication of occurrence of the first deployment indicator:
enabling a controller that monitors for occurrence of a second deployment indicator, and
transitioning the body-mountable electronic device from a sleep state to a partially operational state; and
in response to the controller identifying occurrence of the second deployment indicator, transitioning the body-mountable electronic device from the partially operational state to a fully operational state.
