We partnered up with Adaptive Adventures and BAE Systems to develop a solution aimed at enhancing the safety of veterans with traumatic injuries, such as limb loss or paralysis. These veterans often lose the ability to sense temperature in affected limbs, which can lead to severe health risks like frostbite or overheating during physical activities. We developed a temperature sensor that can seamlessly communicate to a mobile application. This will monitor the user’s temperature and provide real-time alerts to the user if the user's temperature goes into harmful thresholds. By alerting users to critical temperature changes, this technology aims to prevent life-threatening conditions and encourage more individuals to participate in adaptive sports with more confidence.
