Physiological sensing of personal thermal comfort with wearable devices in fan-assisted cooling environments in the tropics

Effect of the cooling clothing integrating with phase change material on the thermal comfort of healthcare workers with personal protective equipment during the COVID-19

“…There have been several developments to improve the thermal comfort of healthcare workers in response to pandemic prevention requirements, such as fan cooling [ 28 ], hydrogel cooling [ 29 ], air circulation cooling [ [30] , [31] , [32] ] and phase change cooling [ 33 , 34 ]. However, phase-change cooling has been actively proposed due to its ability to thermostat specific temperatures, its long duration and its simplicity and ease of use [ 35 ].…”
