Infrared Thermography in High Performance Sports and Military

Based on the Homeostasis principle, humans are supposed to be thermally balanced. Thermohuman detects and quantifies significant thermal asymmetries (hypo and hyperthermia) that can be related to potential causes of injury risk, allowing professionals to act and and make informed decisions.

ThermoHuman is useful as as a return to play tool by quantifying and controlling the thermal variations and compensations that the injury creates in the injured area and the surrounding regions. This physiological information can be combined with other medical imaging techniques and performance data to speed up the decision making and the return to play, as well as reducing the relapse probability.

Thermal imaging is able to quickly measure skin temperature which is related to the internal physiological processes of the different human tissues (internal load). ThermoHuman is used by performance professionals to quantify and monitor the load assimilation of different body areas, giving individualized & localized metrics to adapt training loads and optimize performance, also in combination with other technologies that measure external load, for instance GPS.
