| Description | During an occupational heat load, part of the generated metabolic energy is transferred to the ambient environment by radiation and cooling through sweat evaporation. Persons working in personal protective equipment (PPE) that limit heat transfer and sweat dissipation for thermoregulation to the environment are at high risk of hyperthermia due to the metabolic heat accumulation within the body. Therefore, it is desirable to monitor the physiological workload functions of persons, such as heart rate and core body temperature, to improve occupational safety and health protection. For this purpose, we compared the reliability of the non-invasive core body temperature measurement technology using the CORE sensor with the traditional invasive rectal probe technology. The results show promise for using non-invasive temperature measurement for monitoring people in PPE under real-world conditions. |
