The HOT System is a patent-pending, two-component package that embeds a heat sensing unit inside the helmet of a football player and collects and relays periodic temperature readings from the player's skin to a portable data collector (A ruggedized PDA or Laptop Computer). The portable device is used to alert a trainer or sideline assistant that a player has exceeded an allowable temperature while the player's helmet is strapped on.

If a temperature ranges outside of the set parameters then the data collector will alert the sensor unit in the helmet to take temperature readings at a faster rate. The alert will be displayed on the data collector so the operator of the data collector can make a decision on whether to pull the player or not. The alert will be automatically removed from the data collector as soon as the temperature falls back into the normal parameters.

The system includes two applications; one for the portable data collector (PDA) and one for the laptop (PC).



The HOT system enables a user to view player information including:
-Player Name
-Player Number
-Player Emergency Contacts
-Player Medical Conditions (if applicable)

Customizable Database
Information can be updated to the player database by cradling the PDA and connecting to the HOT system online network. Reports can also be generated to review player weight, height, performance under heated environmental conditions and more.

The HOT system comes complete with user manual, training CD, and connection to a client extranet to view more information and tips.
