Methods and systems for determining measures of physiological response due to heat

Abstract

A computer-implemented method and an electronic system for determining a measure of the physiological strain on a mammal due to heat are disclosed, wherein a number of steps are performed: receiving (S13) a measurement of a core body temperature (CBT) and a skin temperature (ST) of the mammal; calculating (S14) a mean body temperature 5 (MBT) as a function of the core body temperature (CBT) and the skin temperature (ST); and calculating (S15) a heat strain index (HSI) as a function of the mean body temperature (MBT), the heat strain index (HSI) indicative of the physiological strain on the mammal due to heat.
