NCT ID NCT06579963
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether painting roofs with a special reflective coating can improve people's health during extreme heat. Researchers are giving smartwatches to 800 people in Burkina Faso, Mexico, India, and Niue to track their heart rate, sleep, and physical activity. The goal is to see if simply making roofs cooler can help communities adapt to rising temperatures from climate change.
