BTT Corp. has developed a range of wireless and remote monitoring devices that enable continuous noninvasive monitoring in many venues.
Civilian and military personnel can benefit in both personal safety and job performance from continuous temperature monitoring while working under extreme conditions. People engaged in such fields as construction, agriculture, firefighting, rescue, nuclear and toxic waste clean-up, public safety and military personnel actively deployed in disaster and war zones can avoid fatal complications caused by heat stroke.
Sports, fitness and leisure activities on both the professional and amateur levels would also benefit in both safety and performance.
Viking offensive tackle Korey Stringer collapsed and eventually died from complications after suffering a heat stroke; and recently a 15-year old high school student suffered the same fate during football practice.
According to a report from the University of North Carolina (UNC), since 1995, 33 football players have died from heat stroke, Frederick O. Mueller, Professor of Exercise and Sports Science at UNC and the author of the report, calls the figure unacceptable.
Studies have found that athletic fatigue is not a result of tired muscles, but rather from an increase in brain temperature. Injuries and deaths can be prevented and athletic performance can be enhanced by the continuous noninvasive monitoring of the brain's temperature.
