This paper presents an optoelectronic thermometer utilizing infrared-to-visible upconversion, achieved through integrated light receiving and emission devices. Microscale thin-film devices exhibit temperature-dependent light emission with a 1.5% °C⁻¹ intensity change and a 0.18 nm °C⁻¹ spectral shift. The sensing mechanism is attributed to temperature-dependent optoelectronic properties of the semiconductor band structure and circuit operation. Spatially resolved temperature mapping is demonstrated using patterned device arrays. *In vitro* and *in vivo* experiments using integrated fiber-optic sensors showcase real-time thermal detection in dynamic human activity and the deep brain of animals.
