description Patients suffering from diseases that occur due to spreading of virus like fever and cold will have decrease in body temperature. They feel cold in the normal body and room temperature conditions. For the comfort of these patients, an electric under blanket is designed which warms up the patient to maintain the normal body temperature. The heated under body supports include a heater assembly and a layer of compressible support material. The heater assembly includes a flexible heating element, multiplex polyester, and a temperature sensor. The flexible heater element may include a fabric, which coated with a conductive or semiconductive polymer. The heated under body support may also include a water resistant shell, whereas it may encase the heater assembly and the compressible support material. The material used for outer shell and inner heating element has simulated in COMSOL tool for analyzing the heat transfer between them. The proto type model has simulated in PROTEUS software, which includes Arduino UNO and thermistor. This analysis will give the result whether the material can be used as the under garment for warming the patient.
