Thermoelectric cooling device for enhanced human exercise performance

Abstract

A handheld device for cooling the palms of hands, preferably using thermoelectric cooling technology, a temperature control mechanism to target 10-15 degrees Celsius, and an integrated battery, and / or in a halo-shape, including two units with concave surfaces for targeting glabrous tissue (e.g. palms / fingers). The handheld device may be transferred to clothing sleeves for whole-body temperature regulation. The Halo system may incorporate smart technology and Bluetooth (RTM) for remote control via a mobile app and integration with health platforms for data analytics. The device is also designed to facilitate research in thermoregulation during movement.

Claims

1. A handheld cooling device comprisingthermoelectric cooling technology, designed for efficient palm cooling during physical activity, wherein said device achieves rapid coolingto target temperatures between 10-15°C, providing precise temperature control and facilitating prolonged standalone operation through integrated battery capacity.

2. The standalone feature of claim 1 enables research opportunities for "in transit" cooling applications, facilitating scientific exploration in the field of thermoregulation during movement.

3. A uniquely designed Halo-shaped handheld device, comprising two units with concave surfaces optimised for comprehensive palm cooling, effectively targeting the entire glabrous tissue area.

4. Both handheld devices of claim 3 possess transferability to clothing sleeves, serving as cooling devices in direct contact with human skin for whole-body temperature regulation.

5. The Halo system of claims 3 and 4 incorporates smart technology and Bluetooth capability, enabling remote control via a dedicated mobile application when detached from the Halo structure.

6. The secure connectivity of claim 5 allows paired mobile devices to manage the handheld units remotely, integrate with health platforms, and provide data analytics for insights into cooling effectiveness and exercise performance.
