Kenzen’s Smart PPE system tracks heat susceptibility, sweat rate

Kenzen’s smart PPE system now can track the heat susceptibility and sweat rate of individuals—key indicators in the detection and prevention of heat-related stress, injury, and fatality risk of workers in hot environments.
After calculating heat susceptibility, the system classifies the worker into low, moderate, or high heat-risk categories. A proprietary algorithm determines the worker’s heat-risk category by evaluating their medical or physical conditions, physical fitness, heat-acclimatization status, history of heat injury and illness, medications, chronic illnesses, and age.
The sweat rate monitoring feature uses a worker’s information and physiological data to calculate and predict their sweat rate in liters per hour. A manager can view an individual’s sweat rate on the analytics dashboard, which also indicates how much water that person needs to drink each hour to stay hydrated.
