Overview
The purpose of this project is to produce a feasible design for a system that uses sensors to measure a player’s core temperature from the temporal artery or from an oral temperature reading. This system is to be installed in a football helmet or mouth guard and will alert the player if he or she is overheating. Being able to accurately measure core temperature in a timely manner could allow players to get immediate treatment and therefore greatly reduce heat-related incidents.
