Laboratory Heat Biomarker and Cooling Interventions
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Hyperthermia
In brief
Our study has two goals. The first goal is to find a blood test that can detect signs of strain from heat in the body ("a biomarker"). Second, the study team wants to identify types of devices that can help people cool down quickly. By identifying biomarkers for heat strain, scientists can better track and treat the health effects of heat. The study team will identify such biomarkers by simulating, in a laboratory-based environment, the heat and physical work that real-world workers experience. In addition, the study team plans to test two cooling technologies that might keep people cool during physical activity.
