The situation isn’t just figuratively hot whenever you’re in a high pressure cooker situation on the football field – things get literal as well. Which is why the HotHear smart helmet might just come in handy for coaches to be able to monitor their star quarterbacks’ temperatures, taking them off the field before they overheat. This is made possible thanks to a built-in heat sensing capability in each helmet, where skin temperature readings form the heat sensor is collected and transmitted to the coach’s portable device. Of course, football stars need not get all the attention as firefighters, soldiers and athletes could potentially benefit from such technology as well.
