The usability of ClimApp: A personalized thermal stress warning tool

ClimApp was developed to assist individuals in reducing the risk of exposure to thermal stress and to supply the user with individualized advice and recommendations. The tool integrates several human thermal models and heat indices with the local weather forecast and goes on to provide users with a prediction of their thermal stress based on...

ClimApp—Integrating Personal Factors with Weather Forecasts for Individualised Warning and Guidance on Thermal Stress

This paper describes the functional development of the ClimApp tool (available for free on iOS and Android devices), which combines current and 24 h weather forecasting with individual information to offer personalised guidance related to thermal exposure. Heat and cold stress assessments are based on ISO standards and thermal models where...

Predicted and user perceived heat strain using the ClimApp mobile tool for individualized alert and advice

Thermal models and indices integrated into a mobile application could provide relevant information regarding thermal stress and strain to the general public. The aim of the current paper is to validate such a mobile application, ClimApp, to the users needs in the heat. ClimApp combines weather data with personal user data, thermal models and...
