11. A body-mountable electronic device, comprising:
a power source;
a timer configured to count a timeout period;
a sensor coupled to the power source and configured to detect an indication that meets a transition condition; and
control circuitry coupled to the power source and configured to:
verify deployment of the body-mountable electronic device upon being enabled in response to the transition condition being met, wherein:
upon being enabled, the control circuitry draws a first level of power from the power source; and
verifying the deployment is based on the control circuitry monitoring to detect a signal within the timeout period, and
in response to verifying the deployment, transition the body-mountable electronic device to a full power mode, wherein the transitioning comprises enabling additional functionality of the body-mountable electronic device, and wherein enabling the additional functionality draws a second level of power from the power source,
wherein the body-mountable electronic device is configured to be inserted into a deployment applicator.
