    Abstract: The invention describes a method of predicting a stabilization temperature (T∞) of a subject (8) with a heat-flow sensor (1) comprising a plurality of thermistors (S1, S2, S1A, S2A, S1B, S2B), which method comprises the steps of expressing the temperature development of the heat-flow sensor (1) as a stretched exponential equation characterized by a time constant (τ) and a sensor characteristic scalar value (m); receiving temperature measurement values (T1, T2, T3, T4) collected by the thermistors (S1, S2, S1A, S2A, S1B, S2B); estimating the time constant (τ) on the basis of the temperature measurement values (T1, T2, T3, T4); and deducing the future stabilization temperature (T∞) on the basis of the estimated time constant (τ). The invention further describes heat-flow sensor (1) and a temperature sensing arrangement (9).
