      Sep 2025
      AlertAthlete is a mobile device that tracks environmental threats for outdoor athletes in the summer. It considers the wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT), ultraviolet index (UVI), and chance of rain and lightning as the threat indicators. These indicators help athletes to be more aware of the risk of heat related illnesses, risk of skin cancer, and the safety of practices/matches. AlertAthlete is implemented with a battery-operated RP2040 microcontroller and a batteryless e-ink display. MicroPython code periodically downloads environmental forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and OpenWeatherMap. The forecasts and suggested precautions are then shown on the e-ink display. AlertAthlete aids athletes to take early
