INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY FOR PREDICTING OF HUMAN THERMOPHYSIOLOGICAL STATE IN COLD WATER
Introduction. Cold water is extreme environment for humans, which is attributed to the high thermal conductivity and heat capacity of water. People whose activities involve prolonged exposure to water with a temperature below 25 °C are at risk of hypothermia. The average temperature of the ocean’s surface waters fluctuates between 15 °C and 17 °C. Therefore, it’s important to inform all individuals who work, travel, engage in sports or relax by the sea, lakes or rivers in any region of the world about the risk of hypothermia.
As of today, there are numerous mobile applications in the field of healthcare, but there is a lack of technology capable of preemptively alerting individuals to adverse conditions in water environments and providing appropriate recommendations.
The purpose of the paper is to assess the safety of human presence in cold water using mobile technologies and mathematical models of human physiological systems.
Results. An informational technology for predicting of human thermophysiological state in cold water has been developed with a client-server architecture. A key feature of this technology is the inclusion of modern mathematical models of human thermoregulation and heat exchange on server, which enable the consideration of environmental characteristics, physical activity, protective clothing, immersion level, and duration of human exposure to water.
Conclusions. The proposed informational technology allows for the early detection of potential risks of hypothermia and provides recommendations for maintaining human health during cold water exposure. The utilization of the developed informational technology can prove valuable in the realm of healthcare for evaluating physiological reserves of the body and determining a safe duration for human presence in cold water.
Keywords: informational technology, human thermoregulation model, risks of health, mobile applications, water environment, physical activity, protective clothing.
