Wearable devices can accurately predict personal thermal comfort in tropical climates
Physiological signals can accurately predict how comfortable people feel in fan-cooled tropical environments. By measuring body responses like skin temperature, researchers developed models that can predict personal comfort levels with high accuracy. These models can even work well with just two skin temperatures as inputs. This study shows that wearable devices can effectively gauge thermal comfort in fan-assisted cooling settings, offering a promising way to enhance personal comfort in hot climates.
