HANDY APPS TO HAVE
HAZARDS NEAR ME NSW
HEATWATCH APP
The Heat and Health Research Incubator at The University of Sydney, in collaboration with community partners, have developed the HeatWatch app. The HeatWatch app allows users to estimate a personalised heat health risk. It also provides science-backed cooling strategies that are easily implementable. Its design and features are shaped by direct consultations with community members via focus groups, ensuring a user-friendly and practical tool for heatwave health risk management.
In recent times, heatwaves have become more intense, frequent, and prolonged — a trend that
will escalate in the foreseeable future. As NSW’s population continues to grow and age, it is crucial
to safeguard the most vulnerable from the detrimental health effects of extreme heat, reinforcing
the importance of the HeatWatch application.
