Hello everyone!
I will first start with an introduction about myself. I am a graduate student from the TU Delft in the Netherlands and I am currently looking into making a cooling system for people with spinal cord injury (mainly tetraplegics but everyone with trouble keeping his/her body temperature low is welcome). The need for such a system came from SCI sporters but also rehabilitation centers. The plan is to eventually come with a working prototype which can help people to decrease the rise of the core temperature during activities and/or warm environments.
My goal is to make the product really usable for the user and therefore I would like your input. Currently I'm thinking about a shirt/vest that contains fans and water sprays on the inside to mimic sweating. However, my question is would you like a shirt or vest with this or would you rather want it integrated in the wheelchair. Any experiences with cooling vests/shirts or places you really want cooling is welcome! We can also talk about it in PM or over a call what you like most.
PS: I'm sorry if this is not the place to ask, but instead of developing the idea based on scientific research I really want as much direct input as possible from the people who have this problem.
