- Sports Science
- Environmental Engineering
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Athlete recovery is significantly impacted by the thermal-humidity microenvironment.
- Current environmental systems in athletic venues are costly and lack personalized control.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an intelligent adaptive seating system for athlete recovery.
- To optimize the microenvironment using multifunctional climate control.
Main Methods:
- Developed an intelligent adaptive seating system with AHT20 temperature and humidity sensors.
- Monitored real-time facial temperature and humidity to create a physiological profile.
- Implemented intelligent analysis to automatically adjust heating, cooling, and dehumidifying devices.
Main Results:

01:29Decreased Body Temperature
1.1K
A decreased body temperature can occur in patients with hypothermia and frostbite. Heat loss with extended cold exposure overpowers the body's ability to create heat, resulting in hypothermia. Core temperature readings help classify hypothermia. Mild hypothermia is temperatures between 32 °C (89.6 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and is caused by impaired thermoregulation. Moderate hypothermia is temperatures between 28 C (82.4 °F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F) caused by...

The signs and symptoms of fever include hot and dry skin, flushed face, thirst, muscle aches, anorexia, headache, tachycardia, tachypnea, and fatigue. Elevated body temperature is reduced using two methods: pharmacological and nonpharmacological. Proper identification and treatment of the root cause of a fever is of utmost importance.

Rectal temperature measurement is considered the most precise method for assessing core body temperature and typically registers higher than oral temperature. For adults, the rectal thermometer should be inserted 1 to 1.5 inches into the rectum to obtain the most accurate reading.
Follow these steps for rectal temperature assessment:
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and don clean gloves to prevent cross-infection.
Step 2: Position the patient in a side-lying position to better visualize the rectal...
