Heatwaves & Health Risk Prediction
Forecasting Heat Risk Before It Becomes a Health Crisis
Overview
Heat Intelligence for India.
Heat events are no longer seasonal outliers. They are compounding public health emergencies that affect the most vulnerable first and hardest. ARTPARK's platform turns environmental signals into actionable heat-risk intelligence, giving health systems the lead time they need to protect people.
Localised and specific: Sub-district level heat-risk predictions up to seven days ahead, integrating temperature, biometeorological indicators, and physiological thresholds.
Impact-based, not just weather-based: Forecasts translate heat into health risk, identifying what rising temperatures mean for specific populations, not just what they measure on a thermometer.
Operationally integrated: The platform is live with the Government of Karnataka, enabling coordinated preparedness, targeted protection for vulnerable groups, and district-level adaptation planning.

How It Works
7-Day Forecast Window: Localised heat-stress predictions delivered up to seven days ahead, giving administrators and health officials meaningful lead time before conditions peak.
Sub-District Resolution: Granular enough to drive targeted action at the community level, moving beyond broad regional averages to risk intelligence that is specific and actionable.
Impact-Based Methodology: Integrates biometeorological heat stress indicators, epidemiological evidence, and physiological thresholds to translate temperature into health risk for specific populations.
Built With Implementation Partners Developed and deployed in collaboration with KSNDMC, KSDMA, the Department of Health (NPCCHH), CAOS IISc, IMD, and the Disaster Management Authority.

The Bigger Picture
Health and Climate Are Not Separate Problems.
Dengue is a climate-sensitive disease. Heat stress exacerbates chronic conditions. Livestock diseases affect food security and rural livelihoods. These health and climate risks collectively add to the economic burden on individuals and the public health sector in India.
ARTPARK's work in this space is designed to treat them as a single, interconnected system, and build strategies and solutions accordingly.
-
Rising temperatures expand dengue vector habitats. Erratic rainfall patterns create new breeding conditions. PRISM-H models both.
-
Heatwaves suppress immune function, worsen chronic illness outcomes, and increase healthcare demand precisely when health systems are under maximum strain.
-
Most emerging human pathogens originate in animals. Dharini's environmental surveillance provides early warning that traditional human health systems miss entirely.
