1. A self-contained adhesive thermometer patch comprising:
an adhesive surface configured to be attached to a skin of a user and an opposing surface;
a control unit;
a non-invasive temperature sensor configured to measure temperatures in a range of 30° C. to 45° C., and to transfer temperature signals to said control unit, in response thereto; wherein the non-invasive temperature sensor is associated with or embedded into a portion of the adhesive surface so that at least a portion of the sensor is configured to contact the skin of the user non-invasively while the adhesive surface is attached to the skin of the user;
a power supply unit;
an audible indication unit; and
a first trigger unit,
wherein the adhesive surface and the opposing surface form a housing therebetween accommodating at least the control unit, the power supply unit, the audible indication unit, and the first trigger unit;
wherein said control unit is configured to switch from a monitoring state to an alerting state upon receiving transferred temperature signals that indicate a temperature above a first threshold or below a second threshold,
wherein the audible indication unit is deactivated in the monitoring state,
wherein the control unit is configured to activate said audible indication unit in the alerting state, and
wherein in the alerting state, upon activation of the first trigger unit, the control unit switches from the alerting state to a temporary suspension state for a predetermined time period in a range of 10 minutes to 4 hours, wherein in the temporary suspension state, the control unit is configured to deactivate at least the audible indication unit for the predetermined time period before automatically reactivating the audible indication unit.
