Safety and Performance Monitoring During Occupational Work II
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Hypothermia
In brief
BHSAI is developing a computational system that provides early alerts of a rise and fall in core body temperature to help reduce the risk of thermal injury in the field and during training. The goal of the body temperature alerting system is to use it during rest, exercise in the heat and cold. Therefore, the primary purpose of this investigation is to validate a body temperature alerting system using physiological responses that occur during rest and exercise in different cold environments. Multiple cold ambient temperatures will be validated.
