Global climate change has resulted in an increase in the number and intensity of
environmental heat waves, both in areas traditionally associated with hot temperatures and …

Wearable physiological status monitoring is part of modern precision medicine that permits
predictions about an individual's health and performance from their real-time physiological …

The proliferation of user-friendly low-cost wearable sensors has brought the concept of real-
time physiological monitoring for exertional heat illness to the cusp of reality. This paper …

Introduction Existing predictive equations underestimate the metabolic costs of heavy
military load carriage. Metabolic costs are specific to each type of military equipment, and …

Core body temperature (TC) is a key physiological metric of thermal heat-strain yet it
remains difficult to measure non-invasively in the field. This work used combinations of …

Green walls have been used in built environments as a natural element to bring various
benefits, thus improving human health and well-being. However, in conventional virtual …

Personal protective clothing (PPC) is mandatory in hazardous industrial workplaces, but can
increase thermophysiological strain, causing fatigue, reduced productivity, illness and injury …

Exercise or work in hot environments increases susceptibility to exertional heat illnesses
such as exertional heat stroke (EHS). EHS occurs when body heat gain exceeds body heat …

The intelligent use of resources enabled by Internet of Things has raised the expectations of
the technical as well as the consumer community. However there are many challenges in …

ECTemp™ is a heart rate (HR)-based core temperature (CT) estimation algorithm mainly
used as a real-time thermal-work strain indicator in military populations. ECTemp™ may …
