Science, tips and interaction

We are all of us, those of us who are interested in science, in advice, in interaction, and those of us who are exposed to this condition of working or traveling at high altitude.

The mission of High Altitude Advisors is to interact with the scientific community, workers, tourists, and permanent high-altitude residents to share knowledge.

The Altitude Advisors aim is to be a space that fosters interaction through a website and a blog hosted on it, sharing scientific news and the concerns of all interested parties, without distinction, in order to share knowledge about the effects that altitude has on human health and performance.

Our goal is to be an open and accessible meeting place for everyone, from scientists to people who live or work in the mountains, helping to understand and prevent the risks of altitude and promoting well-being in these environments.

This website will contain a blog to spread knowledge and interact with those interested in the topic and improve or advise them for their well-being.

Altitude Advisors is an initiative of professors Dr. Patricia Siques and Dr. Julio Brito, with over 30 years of experience dedicated to research on altitude exposure, collaborating with and interacting with experts and the interested public.

With years of experience working in high-altitude environments—from sea level to high altitudes—they advise workers exposed to changes, mountaineers, tourists, athletes, and professionals who face chronic, intermittent exposure to altitude. Their approach combines scientific knowledge, practical experience, interaction, and personalized advice to help prevent risks due to hypoxia, altitude sickness, physiological stress, and cardiovascular disorders. They also work on acclimatization strategies, safety, and health advice to reduce complications during prolonged or variable exposure to high altitudes.

The subjects will be Altitude Advisors, health at altitude, risks of exposure to altitude, science and knowledge, science and advice, science applied to altitude, intermittent hypoxia, intermittent altitude, chronic intermittent altitude, acute intermittent altitude, mountain medicine, exposure to altitude, workers at altitude, physiological impact of altitude, adaptation to altitude, prevention of altitude sickness, advice on health at altitude, tourism at altitude in collaboration with universities in Latin America and Europe, cardiovascular health, oxidative stress, etc. The tools for this will be reinforced with online courses, for example.
