      abstract = {Global warming has been affecting human health, including  direct mortality and morbidity from extreme heat, storms,  drought, and indirect infectious diseases. It is not only  “global” but extremely “personal”—it is a matter of life  and death for many of us. In this perspective, we propose  the use of wearable technologies for localized personal  thermoregulation as an innovative method to reduce the  impact on health and enable wider adaptability to extreme  thermal environments. The state-of-the-art thermoregulation  methods and wearable sensing technologies are summarized.  In addition, the feasibility of thermoregulation technology  in preventive medicine for promoting health under climate  change is comprehensively discussed. Further, we provide an  outlook on health-oriented closed loop that can be achieved  based on parallel thermoregulation and multiple data inputs  from the physiological, environmental, and psychological  cues, which could promote individuals and the public to  better adapt to global warming.},
