From population to individual: advocating personalised digital tools for heat-health early warning in a changing climate.

Key takeaways

An opinion piece arguing that heat warning systems should be personalized to each person instead of issued to whole populations. It notes that heatwaves raise the risk of hospital stays and death, including from sudden kidney injury. No study was run and no results are reported. Sudden kidney injury from heat is a real concern, but this piece is about warning system design, not kidney disease.
