Heat stroke prediction: a perspective from the internet of things and machine learning approach

Abstrak

With the increasing occurrence of heat-related illnesses due to rising temperatures worldwide, there is a need for effective detection and prediction systems to mitigate the risks. Heat stroke, a life-threatening condition occurs when the body’s temperature exceeds 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius). It can happen due to prolonged exposure to temperatures. When the body struggles to cool itself down adequately. The internet of things (IoT) and machine learning (ML) are two advancing technologies that have the potential to revolutionize industries and enhance our lives in numerous ways. Currently, monitoring devices are primarily used to diagnose when individuals suffering from heatstroke are at the location. This paper delves into the exploration of utilizing the IoT and ML algorithms to predict heat strokes. It reviews existing studies in this field, focusing on how IoT has been deployed and the application of machine learning techniques. The research aims to define the integration of IoT devices and ML algorithms that has a great potential to detect and predict heat-related illnesses such as heat stroke at an early stage.
