| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The final goal of this study was to develop a smart ear monitor for detecting heat illness and/or stress in daily life. In order to accomplish this study, First, we have developed a new methodology for detecting heat illness based on continuous tympanic thermometry in serious hot condition. Second, we have searched for the appropriate part of ear-canal to obtain cardiac beating and normalized pulse volume as a indicator of sympathetic nerve activity. Third, we have developed a new smartphone application named "iPhysioMeter: http://iphysiometer.com/app/", which can measure and easily monitor the physiological variables. These results can yield to the smart ear monitor in the near future.
