Development of the outdoor personal thermal index (OPTI) for evaluating heat strain risk using personal, observational, geographical, and meteorological data
The OPTI index, which was developed based on personal, observational, geographical, and meteorological data, proved to be a simple, accurate, and reliable index for predicting thermal strain, demonstrating compatibility with human physiological responses.
