Mainly aimed at preventing heat injuries, the “Lohas Weather APP – Healthy Meteorological Service” jointly developed by the National Health Department, the Central Meteorological Bureau and the Academia Sinica combines meteorological and health-related information to provide an overview of heat injury warning maps for counties and cities in Taiwan (including towns and cities), and can instantly check the daily and weekly “heat injury forecast”. It also has an emergency call function to quickly contact nearby medical institutions.
The National Health Department, the Central Meteorological Administration and others jointly developed the “Lohas Weather APP”, which can instantly locate and query the heat injury risk periods in various regions.
“Lohas Weather APP – Health Meteorological Service” is jointly built by the National Health Department, the Central Meteorological Bureau and the Academia Sinica. It integrates six weather application services including health, tourism, campus, fishery, digital science and digital navigation. It is specially designed for “heat injury”. You can view the heat injury warning map of all counties and cities in Taiwan (including towns and cities) in the APP, and through the GPS positioning function, you can immediately search for “nearby emergency responsible hospitals”.
“Lohas Weather APP” provides Android version and IOS version. Users can download the appropriate version according to their own needs.
After entering the “LOHAS Weather APP” homepage, you can see 6 weather application services including health, tourism, campus, fishery, digital science and digital navigation, and you can choose the functions to be displayed on the homepage through settings.
Since the weather is hot now, we also introduce the related functions of “Heat Damage” in the “Lohas Weather APP”. The relevant reference information for “heat injury” includes heat index daily report, heat index weekly report, and warning alert. It can confirm the situation of heat injury through multiple indicators such as caution, warning, danger, high risk, etc., and provide relevant suggestions. Of course, the forecasts in these weeks can also see danger, and the daily reports also focus on danger, warning, and attention.
The APP also takes into account the different needs of the general public and vulnerable groups (such as children, the elderly, people with chronic diseases, outdoor workers, athletes), providing precautions for preventing heat injuries, and using “simple and interesting” visual patterns to provide “tips to prevent heat injuries.”
Because heat injury is an acute disease, if you need to be sent to the hospital urgently, the APP has a GPS positioning function. As long as you are allowed to access information, you can automatically search for “nearby emergency responsible hospitals” and directly call the phone to quickly dial, strive for the golden rescue period, and reduce the risk of death from heat injury.
In addition, there is also some tourism weather, air quality, wind field forecast and other information for reference.
The weather is really too hot now, and you can easily suffer from heat stroke if you stay outdoors for a long time. Although you probably don’t need an APP to know that there is a high risk of heat injury during outdoor activities, but because of the built-in help function, people in need can still download the APP to take a look.
