- CORE has collected and analyzed over three years of skin and core temperature data from over 10,000 athletes to inform the latest updates to the CORE mobile app
- An updated Heat Strain Index represents the reality facing its athlete community and more accurately mirrors personalised strain on the body 1
- CORE introduces the first-ever generalised Heat Zones and guidance, making it easier to take action based on core temp data
- The user interface of the CORE mobile app has also been refreshed for better data visualisation
- These new updates to the CORE app are free to all registered users and are the first of several planned updates coming this quarter

CORE is at the forefront of thermoregulation science with access to the largest, global community of athletes using temperature sensors for sports performance. After over 3 years of data collection and analysis, CORE’s engineers and exercise physiologists have made two highly informed adjustments to the CORE app: introducing the first and only Heat Zone guidance, and an evolved Heat Strain Index.
Heat-Strain Index - an improved formula to calculate thermal stress
Introducing Heat Zones - ground-breaking guidance for athletes
“We are committed to delivering value to our community of world-class and amateur athletes alike with insights that are easy to understand, yet have a profound impact on how they understand and relate to thermal stress. It is an exciting time to be in this space and play an intrinsic role in shaping how humans cope with increasing global temperatures and mitigating against the adverse effects this can have on athletic performance.”
VP and Global Head of Core, Ross McGraw
ABOUT CORE
CORE is a division of greenteg AG and provides expertise and technology for thermal management in sports. The CORE sensor is a real-time core body temperature monitor built with the advanced, Swiss-made Calera thermal energy transfer sensor which provides medical-grade accuracy. It is the only wearable solution that allows athletes to continually monitor accurate core body temperature data without the need for an ingested or inserted thermometer.
Zürich-headquartered greenteg AG manufactures and supplies thermal energy transfer sensors which are also used across a host of applications beyond sports including medical use, photonics, thermal efficiency measurements in construction, and workplace health and safety.
