Cool!
Hey Hot flashers! Big news! I mean really big!
I just read an article extolling the virtues of a new device in development that claims to “beat the heat of a hot flash.” Denise Polacek, PhD, founder of Life Quality Technologies, has designed a wearable device the size of a heart monitor that will track temperature on the surface of your skin and then automatically turn on a thermoelectric cooler when you need it. This is welcome news for those of you who don’t want to do the HRT shuffle. I don’t know much else but I’m going to try to track this story a bit deeper and see if I can locate Denise for an interview.
In the meantime, no surprise but evidently a hot flash heats up the skin by 1.5 degrees F in just 30 seconds. Yikes! No wonder we’re all sweating!
