HeatWatch app

The University of Sydney’s Heat and Health Research Incubator in collaboration with community partners have developed the HeatWatch application. The HeatWatch app enables people in the community to estimate their personalised heat health risk based on their location, age, activity level and clothing. The app also gives you easy cooling strategies, based on science. The HeatWatch app is free to use via phone, tablet, or desktop.
