It is related. State of the Art: 15 Nowadays, medication and ice packs are used to lower the body temperature of patients with fever. Cold compresses or topical cooling methods are used. In these methods, the temperature is reduced. lack of continuous monitoring, inability to automatically control cooling, data logging The absence of a remote warning mechanism is a significant disadvantage. This is the situation. Sudden changes in the patient's body temperature are monitored by healthcare personnel for 20 minutes. They cannot be monitored continuously, which is especially true for children, intensive care patients, and those with infections. High fever cases caused by this pose a risk. Current systems offer portability and automation. It also falls short in terms of control and wearability. An increase in human body temperature above physiological limits can lead to infectious diseases, viral and... bacterial infections, immune system disorders, heatstroke, surgical operations 25 complications developing after intense physical activity and many similar clinical situations It is one of the major health problems seen, especially in children, elderly individuals, and those with chronic illnesses. and the inability to quickly control high fever in intensive care patients; neurological serious injuries include febrile convulsions, circulatory disorders, and multiple organ failure. It can cause complications. 30 2 Nowadays, antipyretic drugs are predominantly used to control high fever. Applications include ice packs, cold compresses, wet cloth applications, cold water baths, or external treatments. Cooling blankets are used. In addition, some hospitals use circulating water. systems or surface cooling devices are used. However, the aforementioned Most of these methods rely on manual application and are performed by healthcare personnel or It requires constant intervention from the patient's family. 10 A significant portion of current solutions continuously monitor body temperature in real time. It is not possible to perform automatic cooling control based on temperature changes, and a dynamic treatment algorithm based on the patient's current physiological condition This is not feasible. As a result, there is either excessive or insufficient cooling. This can be applied, which reduces treatment effectiveness and negatively affects patient comfort. 15 It has an effect. Another significant disadvantage of known systems is that they significantly restrict the patient's mobility. This is a limitation.

Therefore Continuous monitoring of the patient during daily life or at home and active 20 when necessary Automatic cooling is not possible. The current technology uses... Many systems only measure temperature; intelligent decision-making systems evaluate the measured data. It does not have a mechanism. It automatically processes the measured temperature values. Cooling is started, cooling capacity is adjusted proportionally, and the temperature is set to the desired level. Closed-loop control such as automatically shutting down the system when it reaches level 25 These functions are not included in most applications. In addition, current solutions include date and time information along with the measured temperature data. recording, long-term analysis, and transferring data to remote monitoring systems, via GSM, Bluetooth or similar wireless communication technologies to healthcare personnel There are also no functions such as sending automatic alerts to the patient's relatives. This 30 Therefore, the patient's fever change process cannot be effectively monitored, and critical situations may arise. Timely intervention may not be possible. Furthermore, a significant portion of known wearable temperature monitoring systems only provide measurement. an integrated cooling mechanism that performs the function and provides active treatment It does not include. In cooling systems, however, measurement, control, energy management, and data are included. 35 3 Recording, communication and active fluid circulation system integrated within a single portable platform. 5 This is not offered in existing systems. In addition, temperature measurement and temperature analysis are not available in current systems. algorithm, active liquid cooling, energy management, remote communication, data logging and portable the inability to offer all usage functions in an integrated manner on a single wearable platform This constitutes a significant technical deficiency.

The distinctive feature of the invention is that the obtained temperature data is processed by a microcontroller. If the determined threshold values ​​are exceeded, user intervention will be permitted. automatic activation of the active liquid cooling cycle without the need for further assistance. This involves removing the ice pack or superficial compress that is seen in classic ice pack or superficial compress applications. This prevents irregular and uncontrolled cooling. The invention also includes temperature measurement, cooling control, energy management, data logging system, and alarm. its mechanism includes GSM communication, Bluetooth communication and data recording to memory card, etc. Independent functions are integrated into a single portable belt system. It also differs from existing techniques in that it presents it in this way. One of the invention's significant technical advantages is that it not only measures temperature but also... Automatic control using a closed-loop control algorithm based on measured data. It is the system's ability to make decisions. Thus, the system detects the temperature increase and activates active cooling. to start, reduce cooling capacity when temperature approaches normal, or the system It can stop automatically. This system reduces energy consumption while also ensuring patient safety. This increases the importance of recording the measured temperature values ​​along with the date and time information. when necessary, to the remote user via GSM and Bluetooth communication modules or 4 automatic voice and / or message at critical temperature levels, which can be communicated to healthcare personnel. 5 It is able to generate alerts based on data collection. The system also includes a cooling unit, power unit, control unit, battery, liquid tank, and electronics. communication modules are mounted on an ergonomic carrier structure placed around the user's waist area. Thanks to its compact placement, it significantly reduces the patient's daily movements. It creates a wearable medical support system that can function without significant limitations. 10 As a result of these features, the present invention differs from classical external cooling methods in that it only provides temperature... technically from wearable devices that perform measurements and stationary clinical cooling systems departing; real-time temperature monitoring, automatically controlled active liquid cooling, remote Communication, data logging, and portable wearable features all in a single system. It offers a new and innovative technical solution by integrating various steps. This structure is 15 Thanks to this invention, early intervention, controlled temperature reduction, mobile use, and energy efficiency can be improved. efficiency, remote patient monitoring, and automated decision-making functions all within the same system. By providing this, it differs significantly from the solutions currently available in technology. In addition Temperature measurement in current systems, temperature analysis algorithm, active liquid cooling, energy. management, remote communication, data logging and portable usage functions in a single 20 The inability to offer it integrated on a wearable platform is a significant technical shortcoming. It constitutes.
