Abstract:
A portable continuous body temperature monitoring device for a helmet or head gear to be worn by athletes, sports enthusiasts and workers in hot environments that is composed of a therimstor located in a position that is in contact with the temple or forehead of the wearer through attached head gear, pads or straps. The device also contains wiring for an LCD readout and a computer chip for algorithm and analysis of body temperature, signaling the device to trigger an alarm that is either auditory or visual. The computer chip also contains a correlation algorithm for accurate interpretation of body surface temperatures. The device is powered through a button battery and provides protection for dangerous rises in the body temperature of the wearer. The device can also contain electrodes in direct contact with the forehead of the wearer in order to monitor heart rate.
