Knowledge Base Repository

In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters.

Abstract:
A parametric framework for personalised hand-wearable cooling devices is presented to optimise fluid and thermal performance using patient-specific anthropometrics. Iterative prototyping phases validated improved uniformity and efficacy. The approach bridges ergonomic customisation and thermal optimisation, enabling scalable, clinically effective wearable heat-exchangers for diverse patient populations. This study builds on prior work on personalised scalp cooling with Paxman, applying parametric principles to limb cooling for Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy prevention.
