LOCAL mode measurements are now stored on the MX3 LAB and can be uploaded to the MX3 App and assigned to users for data logging and analysis.
The researchers found that over 40% of otherwise healthy children were dehydrated when assessing hydration with the MX3 HTS, in line with previous studies that used urinary measures to assess hydration in in similar cohorts.
MX3 has been selected as one of the inaugural Hot 30 innovators by the CORE innovation hub. The CORE Hot 30 is a list of Australia's top innovators in the energy, resources, mining, space and defence industries, with companies selected based on innovation and demonstrated performance in their industry.
In this article we’ll discuss how sweat sodium concentration varies and what factors can influence this important parameter that informs individuals on electrolyte replacement needs.
MX3 CMO Prof. Trevor Kilpatrick presented at the Minesafe International 2020 Conference. Trevor's talk detailed the importance of heat stress and hydration management on the worksite and compared the scientific evidence behind the different technologies available for workplace hydration assessment, including the MX3 Hydration Testing System. Minesafe is the premiere Australian mining safety conference and is attended by a diverse audience of mining regulators, health and safety practitioners and other resource industry professionals.
Last week MX3 attended the London Tech Week 2020, Europe's largest technology festival, as part of the Global Victoria trade mission.
Maintaining hydration is of vital importance for performance and safety when working or exercising in the heat, and insufficient fluid management can have major health effects such as heat stroke or chronic kidney disease. Staying well hydrated is also important to the general population for maintaining normal bodily functions and productivity. DeAnn Liska et al. in Nutrients review the scientific literature to determine the general health benefits of maintaining good hydration.
In the largest study of its kind to date, a meta-analysis from Flouris et al. in The Lancet Planetary Health determined the effects of occupational heat strain on worker health and productivity. Analysing the results of over 100 studies from 30 countries measuring more than 447 million workers, the authors investigated a wide range of industries including agriculture, mining and construction.
