Thermocare Graduation Project

This project concerns life quality improvement of bedridden patients. These patients spend months on end in bed, and develop an altered thermal perception. As a result, they feel uncomfortable, which causes their body to spend valuable energy on thermoregulation. Therefore the objective is to maximize the thermal comfort of these patients, in this way reducing thermoregulatory needs, preserving energy, and improving overall life quality.
