Overview
The H.O.T. System is a patent-pending, two-component package that embeds a heat sensing unit inside the helmet of an individual and collects and relays periodic temperature readings from that person’s skin to a portable data collector (A ruggedized PDA or Laptop Computer). The portable device is used to alert the individual or an observer that the person has exceeded an allowable temperature while the subject’s helmet is on.
If skin temperature ranges outside of the set parameters then the data collector will alert the sensor unit in the helmet to take temperature readings at a faster rate. The alert will be displayed on the data collector so the operator of the data collector can make a decision on whether to stop the current activity and seek to receive further observation from a professional and take measures to cool their temperature down. The alert will be automatically removed from the data collector as soon as the skin temperature falls back into the normal parameters.
The H.O.T. system enables a user to view:
- Individual’s Name
- Individual’s Number (applicable in sports)
- Last Skin Temperature
- Tag Number
- Individual’s Emergency Contacts
- Individual’s Medical Conditions (if applicable)
- Individual’s Status
Customizable Database
Information from the PDA is easily transferred to the H.O.T. system cloud based database and reporting software, which helps you update rosters and player or personnel information, review or modify system settings, create events and generate various reports. Such reports can provide review of person’s past skin temperature measurements, alerts and actions taken based on those alerts as well as statistical data for the whole team on a particular event.
