Summary

This global study is testing if applying a special sunlight-reflecting coating to roofs can help protect people from extreme heat. Researchers are using smartwatches to measure heart rate, sleep, and physical activity in 800 participants living in vulnerable housing in four hot climate zones. The goal is to see if this simple home improvement can prevent heat-related health problems in communities most affected by climate change.
