About the Lab
The Temp°IQ™ Lab is the platform’s research arm — read deeply, follow the work, and shape what comes next.
What it is
Most wearables estimate. Temp°IQ™ measures the heat actually removed from the body, in watts and kilojoules. The Lab is the field-to-formula hub that sits on top of that measurement: clinical observation and device data flow in from real use; structured, referenced understanding flows out.
Three programs — Heat Safety, Thermotherapy, and Cranial Cooling — share one spine: Learn · Engage · Advance. Each reads the science, routes you to the right study or tool, and turns what it learns back into the next thing to read.
Throughout, the system is descriptive, not diagnostic — it measures energy and describes patterns. Clinical judgment governs care.
The shared spine
The protocol library
The work produces the protocol library — authored, referenced documents kept under formal version control. Each carries a changelog: revisions are numbered, dated, and attributed, with prior versions preserved and every change traceable to its evidence.
Each suggested edit carries its rationale, its evidence, and its source, and is reviewed by a named human owner before a new version is published.
A pattern becomes a candidate edit only when it clears a defined threshold and corroborates across device data, clinician observation, and the literature. One noisy session is not an edit.
Protocols and papers carry references and a visible history, so a reader can always see what changed, why, and on what evidence.
The living lab network
The Lab is not a static archive — it is a living lab network of clinicians, athletic trainers, sleep specialists, researchers, engineers, and partner institutions who read the work, debate it in the forum, contribute field observation, and surface candidate protocol edits with the discipline the studies require.
Membership is by invitation or request. Each member has a way in — follow a program, take part in a study, or customize a build for the people in their care.
Governance
Data is de-identified by default and consent-gated. Names appear only in an athletics context with consent, and never on the clinical side.
Studies are device-agnostic and clinician-governed; clinical judgment governs care. Minors require guardian consent.
Every claim is sized to its evidence. Work in preparation is labeled as such, and forthcoming papers are attributed honestly until they are hosted in full.
The platform measures temperature and energy and supports clinician-directed protocols; it does not diagnose or prescribe. Consumer cooling framing is non-FDA.
Who runs it
The Lab is maintained by Temp°IQ™ research team together with the investigators governing each study. It is a sister publication to the technology platform at tempiq.com.

Evidence for the claims described here lives in the library’s white papers and each program’s reference list — Heat Safety, Thermotherapy, and Cranial Cooling. Every claim is sized to its evidence; work in preparation is labeled as such. Descriptive, not diagnostic.
