Abstract
Healthcare is becoming more and more important in modern society. In
order to prevent some health symptoms happening in daily life, it is
important to develop an efficient model to simulate the human
physiological performance for predicting and reducing accidents like
dehydration, exertional heatstroke, syncope, even sudden death and so
on. In this paper, a novel human physiological computer simulation model
is introduced. A nonlinear heart rate regulation model and a two-node
thermal regulation model are integrated together to simulate the human
physiological indices like core temperature, dehydration amount and
heart rate. Experiment results show that the proposed physiological
simulation model can well simulate the human physiological mechanisms,
and some important numerical computation results predict the same trends
as the experimental measurements. These simulation results can be used
to analyse human physiological symptoms and assist the health risk
assessment in the healthcare.
