Models for quantifying human thermoregulatory responses
Keywords:
thermal modeling, biophysics, hypothermia, immersionAbstract
This review examines the evolution of thermal models applicable to water immersion and outlines the fundamental principles of accessible human thermoregulation and physiological models. It identifies available source code and proposes future development steps to enhance model generalizability. These models are crucial for translating biophysical and physiological data into practical applications, extrapolating quantitative relationships to novel conditions, and identifying knowledge gaps to guide future research and model refinement.
