Why gadgets could help us deal with extreme heat
As local and global temperatures continue to climb to scorching heights, Assoc Prof Jason Lee, Director of the Heat Resilience and Performance Centre (HRPC) at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (NUS Medicine), outlines the possible repercussions of a climate crisis, especially for those working outdoors for prolonged periods of time.
Staying indoors is not always an option for many who work outdoors, rain or shine. Using science and technology, people living in an increasingly warming world would be able to use prescribed targeted solutions, from a wide range of safety solutions or gadgets, that would help monitor the onset of heat strain on an individual’s body to avoid the adverse health consequences of staying out in the heat for too long.
The Climate and Us, presented by the Global Climate and Health Alliance, takes audiences on a cinematic journey across the world, highlighting the critical link between our changing climate and its profound effects on our wellbeing. The series explores the realities faced by people worldwide—from the wildfires destroying homes in California, to the air pollution smothering residents in Jakarta, and the strain on people’s access to clean water in South Africa. As well as focusing on communities affected by climate-related disasters and emerging health crises, it also highlights the incredible resilience of people impacted—and the wide-ranging solutions we employ to shield our everyday lives.
