Abstract
A parametric framework for personalised hand-wearable cooling devices is presented to optimise fluid and thermal performance using patient-specific anthropometrics. Iterative prototyping phases validated improved uniformity and efficacy. The approach bridges ergonomic customisation and thermal optimisation, enabling scalable, clinically effective wearable heat-exchangers for diverse patient populations. This study builds on prior work on personalised scalp cooling with Paxman, applying parametric principles to limb cooling for Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy prevention.
