Wearable Real-Time Physiological Monitors for Austere Environments

There are many commercial wearable devices oriented to consumers, but these devices do not provide actionable information to first responders who must operate in austere, dangerous environments. During this presentation, progress will be reported on wearable sensors and analytics that can keep first responders safe from a variety of injuries, including overheating and musculoskeletal overuse, and also enhance human performance. An open system architecture to integrate multiple sensors will also be described.
