Heat Stress Risk Prediction – A Bodytrak Feasibility Study

尽管有健康和安全法规，而且自二战以来，热应激/应激模型的发展取得了进步，但户外工作者因中暑而死亡的比例几乎是室内工作者的20倍。显然，还可以做更多的工作。在英诺华，我们开发了Bodytrak®，这是一种用于连续测量一套生命体征的精密耳部监测系统，其中许多体征与测量热应激暴露高度相关。Bodytrak可以通过安全的车载无线无线电访问海量数据存储和计算资源。因此，我们打算开展一项可行性研究，以了解需要哪些额外的传感器和相应的数据来构建适合用途的风险预测算法/S热应激暴露。这将有助于英诺华定位Bodytrak开拓Bodytrak的可寻址市场，Bodytrak目前价值11.56Bn(2017)，可用市场为GB 1.87亿。

The mortality rate of outdoor workers attributed to heat illness, was found to be almost 20 times that of indoor workers, in spite of health and safety regulations and the advances made in the development of heat stress/strain models since World War 2. Clearly, more can be done. At Inova we have developed Bodytrak®, a precision in ear monitoring system used to continuously measure a suite of vital signs, many of which are highly relevant for measuring heat stress exposure. Bodytrak has access to massive data storage and computational resources through a secure wireless on-board radio. Consequently, we intend to carry out a feasibility study to understand what additional sensors and corresponding data are required for build a fit for purpose risk prediction algorithm/s for the heat stress exposure., which would help to position Inova to exploit an addressable market for Bodytrak, currently worth £11.56Bn (2017) with a serviceable market of £187m.
