국문 초록

Background: Climate change increasingly threatens human health worldwide, particularly through extreme weather events, rising temperatures, and ecological disruptions. Traditional studies on climate-related health effects have relied on retrospective designs and population-level exposure averages, limiting their accuracy at capturing individual variations in exposure and physiological response. Objectives: This review aims to examine recent trends in environmental health research utilizing digital healthcare technologies—particularly wearable devices—and propose research and policy strategies to enhance climate-related health responses. Methods: This narrative review examined studies on environmental health using digital healthcare technologies. Articles published between 2024 and July, 2025 were retrieved from Google Scholar, SCOPUS, and PubMed using predefined search terms. Eligible studies employed wearable devices to collect physiological data from humans and analyzed individual responses to environmental exposures such as heat or air pollution. From the 1,315 records initially identified, 29 articles were screened and six met the inclusion criteria after a full-text assessment. Exclusions involved reviews, studies without physiological measures, occupationally restricted research, and indoor-only studies. Results: Wearable technologies were found to enable precision environmental exposure assessments, real-time health risk alerts, and potential improvements in health equity. Integrating wearable data with high-resolution environmental models and AI-based predictions allows for individualized, timely risk notification—especially for vulnerable populations. Conclusions: Digital health tools based on wearable devices can enhance personalized, real-time responses to climate-related health threats. Their integration into public health systems may strengthen societal resilience and promote equitable health outcomes for climate change.
