Lacking tailored guidelines for communities and sports players, researchers conducted a field intervention in Japan, distributing IceBattery (IB) Fresh AVA—a reusable gel device maintaining 10-15°C for 3 hours resulting in reducing the body temperature when help between the palm of the hands. Scientifically it can help prevent or manage heat stroke cases in extreme hot zones. IB Fresh can regulate the body temperature by cooling AVA vessels to 15°C promotes the circulation of cooled blood to the heart and brain, effectively cooling the entire body, including its core temperature. Beyond preventing heatstroke and providing soothing relief during fever, it enhances athletic performance when held in your palm during sports. This cutting-edge cooling solution is uniquely designed to meet the specific needs of humans, ensuring peak comfort, health, and performance during excessive heat conditions. The IB Fresh reliably maintains a refreshing temperature of 10-15°C for up to 3 hours, even in scorching ambient conditions reaching upto 35°C.
