“…Hair loss is frequently one of the most distressing side effects experienced by cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy treatments [7][8][9]. This side effect can pose a significant emotional challenge for women; in fact, nearly 47% of female cancer patients consider hair loss to be the most distressing aspect of chemotherapy.…”

Chemotherapy, a pivotal cancer treatment, frequently instigates alopecia, a psychologically distressing side effect that may deter patients from undergoing treatment. This paper presents a novel, sensor-equipped cooling cap designed to mitigate this hair loss by lowering scalp temperature, thereby reducing blood flow to the scalp before, during, and after chemotherapy. The innovation lies in substituting the conventional mechanical compressor-condenser system with electronic Peltier elements and a radiator, marking a significant evolution in cooling cap technology. The system, composed of a cap and a cooling section, was trialed on six breast cancer patients undergoing treatment with different chemotherapy drugs such as Taxol, Taxotere, and Anthracyclines. Initial observations reported hair retention in up to 89% and 59% of cases treated with Taxotere/Taxol and Anthracyclines respectively, suggesting variable efficacy based on the chemotherapy drug used. The lightweight, flexible system features a smart touchscreen control and an economical design using readily available components, offering userfriendly efficiency and comfort.

This narrative review aims to summarize in one paper all the known applications of infrared (IR) in medical thermography, medical applications, and the standardization protocols and basic conditions for thermal imaging in diagnostic medicine until December 2023. This technology primarily harnesses naturally emitted IR radiation from the subject's surface. These IR radiations emitted from the human body surface have been used in different fields of medical imaging to diagnose different kinds of diseases, disorders, and congenital anomalies and aid in medical therapy. Thermal imaging is a noninvasive, non-contact diagnostic technique used to measure the temperature of the human body. Therefore, IR thermal imaging has drawn significant attention and interest in recent years in a broad range of commercial applications due to its unique and superior properties. This commercial development has been supported by fundamental and applied research studies.
