Problem
Heat stroke is a critical medical emergency that requires immediate cooling intervention to prevent organ damage and death. Traditional cooling methods, such as ice baths, are often impractical or unavailable in many field settings.

ColdVest has developed a portable cooling device that provides rapid core body temperature reduction during heat stroke emergencies. The device utilizes a patented cooling technology that requires no ice, refrigeration, or external power source, making it suitable for use in remote locations and challenging environments. By simply adding water, the vest quickly activates and delivers sustained cooling for up to one hour. This allows for immediate intervention and stabilization of the patient until further medical care can be accessed.
