There is no doubt that hyperthermia can lead to permanent brain damage in patients. Several studies have shown that the use of devices to lower brain temperature reduces death rates. Here, a device for reducing brain temperature was designed and practically implemented. The device was mainly composed of Peltier cooling elements, a helmet made of plastic tubes with a suitable thermodynamic coefficient of heat absorption, cold water circulating inside the tubes (to cool the head), an Arduino Mega microcontroller, sensors for measuring the patient's temperature, and a NodeMCU ESP8266 Wi-Fi microcontroller (to analyze and display the temperature data). The patient's temperature data were then transferred via the Internet of Things (IoT) and displayed online on the Thing Speak website. Two water pumps were used, the flow rate of which was modulated using a fuzzy logic controller. The practical results showed a decrease in patient temperature to 36.5 °C within 12 min (traditional operation) and 8 min (fuzzy logic) using this device. The significance of the proposed device lies in its ability to lower brain temperature and mitigate the risk of permanent brain damage in patients. This was achieved by utilizing Peltier cooling elements, a helmet composed of plastic tubes with an appropriate thermodynamic coefficient (for efficient heat absorption), and cold water circulation (to cool the patient's head effectively). The effectiveness of the suggested method was confirmed by comparing the present results with those of previous studies.

“…One of the disadvantages of the helmet is that it cools certain parts of the head, and the presence of openings and heat exchange causes discomfort to the person wearing the helmet. Eldho et al [25] developed a helmet and jacket for cooling and lowering body and head temperatures. The study's objective was to reduce the temperature and control the heat in the outer perimeter.…”

Cooling and hypothermia of the brain is an important and effective way to save the lives of many patients suffering from diseases such as strokes, epilepsy, incurable diseases, and others due to general accidents. Brain cells are also weak and sensitive to changes and fluctuations in human temperature. In this work, a hypothermia device was designed and practically implemented to reduce the brain and body temperature. It mainly consists of temperature sensors for measuring water and patient temperature, a Helmet made of plastic tubes with a thermal coefficient suitable for absorbing heat, cold water is circulated inside the tubes to cool the head, and the cooling is done through Peltier elements in the device. The Arduino microcontroller controls the system. The experimental results showed a decreasing in brain temperature to 36.5 °C within a cooling time of 12 minutes. The effectiveness of the proposed system was also validated by comparing the findings with the previous system in terms of temperature and cooling time.

“…Thermoelectric devices using thermoelectric cooling based on the Peltier effect [259] have also been used in the design of personal cooling garments [260], as shown in Figure 7. A temperature-controlled glove was developed by combining thermoelectric modules with heat sinks in the form of mini-fans and a thermistor placed close to the skin.…”

The exposure to extreme temperatures in workplaces involves physical hazards for workers. A poorly acclimated worker may have lower performance and vigilance and therefore may be more exposed to accidents and injuries. Due to the incompatibility of the existing standards implemented in some workplaces and the lack of thermoregulation in many types of protective equipment that are commonly fabricated using various types of polymeric materials, thermal stress remains one of the most frequent physical hazards in many work sectors. However, many of these problems can be overcome with the use of smart textile technologies that enable intelligent thermoregulation in personal protective equipment. Being based on conductive and functional polymeric materials, smart textiles can detect many external stimuli and react to them. Interconnected sensors and actuators that interact and react to existing risks can provide the wearer with increased safety, protection, and comfort. Thus, the skills of smart protective equipment can contribute to the reduction of errors and the number and severity of accidents in the workplace and thus promote improved performance, efficiency, and productivity. This review provides an overview and opinions of authors on the current state of knowledge on these types of technologies by reviewing and discussing the state of the art of commercially available systems and the advances made in previous research works.
