It is designed as a pilot and feasibility study in preparation for a large-scale experiment of older adults' mental wellbeing during extreme heat events. Results show that on-body temperatures from two i-Button sensors coupled with heart rate monitored from a smart watch are important indicators to evaluate individualized heat stress given a relatively uniform outdoor temperature. Furthermore, assessing their mood in their own environment demonstrates potential for understanding mental wellbeing that can change with varying time and location.This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Wearable sensorsTemperatureTime factorsArticle10.1109/ACCESS.2020.2982153https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3326-8391https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0110-738XopenAccess
