Icarus Survey

This app is a research tool for the Icarus project to study how people experience heat and adjust their behaviour due to heat. Heat is essential for life, but excessive exposure can be fatal for humans and we are as humanity and individual humans at risk of suffering the same fate as Icarus from the ancient Greek myth - unless we develop improved adaptation measures and collectively change behavior to combat climate change. The ICARUS project, led by Professor Lars Nybo (NEXS) together with Assistant Professor Rosa Lavelle-Hill (SODAS), Associate Professor Catharina Lerche (Bispebjerg Hospital) and Professor Andreas Flouris (University of Thessaly) will study the interactions between physiology, psychology, and culture to improve the mitigation of health threats associated with global warming. Combining expertise in physiology, pharmacology, photobiology, psychology, behavioral science, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) we aim at developing an improved framework for identifying individual at risk, but also for improving advice adherence and effective mitigation measures
