Our project
Students developed a wearable watch designed to help prevent heat stroke by tracking body temperature and issuing early alerts through sound, notifications, and a simple interface. By warning users before symptoms escalate, the device supports personal safety and well-being in high-heat environments.To guide their work, students sought to collaborate with the City of Houston’s Emergency Management Department, recognizing the growing risks posed by rising temperatures in their community. Through this partnership, they aimed to create a practical, accessible tool that not only protects individuals but also raises awareness of heat-related health risks in a changing climate.
