COVID-19 may increase the risk of heat-related symptoms during hot weather since vulnerable populations, including the elderly and those with neurological disabilities, must continue to self-isolate, often indoors. Within the chronic neurological patient population, indoor conditions in summer months present a hazard because of impaired and/or altered thermoregulation, including poor hydration status due to both autonomic and behavioral dysfunction(s). To address this increased risk, telemedicine protocols should include an assessment of the patient’s environmental parameters, and when combined with physiological data from wearable devices, identify those with neurological diseases who are at higher risk of heat illness. Personalized medicine during times of self-isolation must be encouraged, and using smart technology in ambient assisted living solutions, including e-health to monitor physiological parameters are highly recommended, not only during extreme weather conditions but also during times of increased isolation and vulnerability.

在 COVID-19 大流行和相关隔离期间神经病学患者的热风险恶化潜力

COVID-19 可能会增加在炎热天气期间出现与高温相关的症状的风险,因为包括老年人和神经障碍者在内的弱势群体必须继续自我隔离,通常是在室内。在慢性神经病患者群体中,夏季的室内条件由于体温调节受损和/或改变而存在危险,包括由于自主神经和行为功能障碍导致的水合状态不佳。为了解决这种增加的风险,远程医疗协议应包括对患者环境参数的评估,并结合可穿戴设备的生理数据,确定那些患有神经系统疾病的热病风险较高的人。必须鼓励自我隔离期间的个性化医疗,
