| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Spinal cord injury patients have a reduced ability to regulate their body temperature, making it difficult for them to actively go outside due to the risk of heat stroke in the summer and hypothermia in the winter. To solve these problems, this study developed a body temperature control system using central body temperature. In order to predict the risk of heat stroke, a system was developed to estimate the increase in deep body temperature based on heart rate and exercise status. In addition, cooling and heating devices optimized for temperature control in spinal cord injury patients were investigated and their cooling capacity was verified. Furthermore, in order to measure deep body temperature easily, we developed a deep body temperature sensor that does not use the heat flow compensation method, which consumes large amounts of power, and verified its accuracy.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
これまで脊髄損傷者を対象とした体温調節の研究は行われておらず、研究により開発した体温予想システムを用いることで、脊髄損傷者のQOLを向上させることが可能になると考えられる。また、体温調節デバイスの検討から、冷却能力の客観的な評価方法の手法が確立でき、今後の研究において他の冷却方法の検討を行う際に、効果の比較検討が可能になると考えられる。さらに、深部体温センサの開発により、無拘束で長時間深部体温を計測することが可能となり、脊髄損傷者だけでなく健常者の体調管理などのモニタリング装置としての応用も可能となると考えられる。
