Abstract/Description
-
Previous studies have shown that the human body is responsive to rapid temperature changes, particularly in the forearm region, when determining comfortable temperatures. The goal of this study is to design a wristband that can passively cool the user through a finned design and to test its effectiveness. To this end, an aluminum finned wristband has been designed and the Adafruit Flora wearable microcontroller was used to monitor the temperature and output the data via Bluetooth. An Android...
Show morePrevious studies have shown that the human body is responsive to rapid temperature changes, particularly in the forearm region, when determining comfortable temperatures. The goal of this study is to design a wristband that can passively cool the user through a finned design and to test its effectiveness. To this end, an aluminum finned wristband has been designed and the Adafruit Flora wearable microcontroller was used to monitor the temperature and output the data via Bluetooth. An Android application was then created to read the data output and save it as a text file that could be output elsewhere. This project will be tested by recording the temperature data as test subjects engage in physical exercise to see if the wristband can continuously cool the user.
