a wrap for a joint of a patient's body, wherein the joint is a knee, elbow, wrist, hip, ankle, or shoulder;
temperature sensors attached or attachable to the wrap, the temperature sensors comprising a first temperature sensor configured to sense a first temperature in a first position on the wrap and a second temperature sensor configured to sense a second temperature in a second position on the wrap, wherein the first position corresponds with a back of the joint and the second position corresponds with a front of the joint; and
at least one processor and storage, the storage comprising executable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the at least one processor to detect an elevation between the first and second temperatures indicative of an embolism and determine a diagnostic output of an embolism based on the elevation.
