The use of non-invasive measures to predict thermal strain: How accurate are universal models? Sarah Davey Victoria Richmond Katharine E. Griggs Nicola Gerrett George Havenith 2134/11964 https://repository.lboro.ac.uk/articles/conference_contribution/The_use_of_non-invasive_measures_to_predict_thermal_strain_How_accurate_are_universal_models_/9338201 Over the past few decades there has been an upsurge in the development of monitoring devices that estimate levels of thermal strain non-invasively. However, developing a non-invasive monitoring device that estimates body core temperature (Tc) with a certain level of accuracy that is satisfactory over multiple heat stress scenarios and a wide range of body core temperatures has been shown to be a difficult task [1]. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of using a combination of simple non-invasive measures to estimate rectal temperature (Tre) (used as a reference for Tc) over multiple types of heat stress scenarios within a varied population. 2013-03-15 15:22:55 untagged Design Practice and Management not elsewhere classified
