The Temp°IQ™ Thermal Library · R&D
Temp°IQ’s research, gathered in one place: the case for cooling measured to the watt, the studies in progress, and the investigators who carry them forward — assembled for close reading, not quick reference.
The research programs
Each is a research program in its own right — a place to read the science, follow the studies, and contribute to where the evidence goes next. All three share one spine: Learn · Engage · Advance.
Thermoregulation under heat stress — occupational, tactical, athletic & adaptive, and medical. The Cooling Calculator is one step in.
Dose-controlled cold therapy — turning cryotherapy from a timed ritual into a measured, titratable dose.
One cranial platform (the HALO unit), two pillars: concussion management and sleep. Device-agnostic, clinician-governed.
The core idea
Heart rate, steps, “calories” — most wearables estimate. Temp°IQ measures the heat actually removed from the body, in watts and kilojoules: a real physical quantity, not an estimate. A wearable calorimeter.
That measurement is both the product and the research engine. Every session produces real thermal data, so ordinary use compounds into understanding. One shared intelligence runs across the products; only the inputs and outputs differ.
Throughout, the system is descriptive, not diagnostic — it measures energy and describes patterns. Clinical judgment governs care.
The shared spine
Interval icing — twenty minutes on, then off — is among the most universal instructions in musculoskeletal care. How much of it reflects physiology, and how much reflects the limitations of ice as a tool?
A device that removes a known number of watts and holds a target tissue temperature reframes the question from “how long is safe” to “what tissue temperature, for how long, is optimal” — a dose–response no one could measure without both a dial and a meter.

The goal of the collaboration is to pull signal from noise and turn it into suggested edits to existing protocols. Protocols are living documents with a changelog; nothing changes silently.
Each suggested edit carries its rationale, its evidence, and its source — and is reviewed by a human owner before a new version is published.
A pattern becomes a candidate edit only when it clears a defined threshold and corroborates across the device data, clinician observation, and the literature. One noisy session is not an edit.
The forum
A members-only forum for clinicians, athletic trainers, sleep specialists, engineers, and partners. Discuss endpoints, compare field observations, debate the interval-icing question, and surface candidate protocol edits — with the discipline the studies require.

The measurement claims here — heat removed in watts and kilojoules, the wearable calorimeter — are detailed in the library’s white papers, and each program page (Heat Safety, Thermotherapy, Cranial Cooling) carries its own primary references. Descriptive, not diagnostic; figures are sized to the evidence and forthcoming papers are labeled as such.
