First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether heated socks made with wearable technology can help prevent hypothermia, reduce shivering, and improve comfort in cold conditions. Seventy healthy volunteers will be randomly assigned to wear either heated socks or regular-looking socks in a cooled room. Their body temperature, shivering, and comfort will be measured over 60 minutes.
