Military

 

Military personnel face an extremely high risk of injury, physical trauma, thermal extremes and ballistic impact during combat.

SmartLife® Technology provides real time comprehensive monitoring of vital signs and promptly identifies a wounding event, thus benefiting both the soldiers and the monitoring center that would be able to prioritize actions to be taken in treating casualties optimally.

 

What is driving the need to monitor?

  • Automated Detection :  Tactical awareness (automated engagement detection); Reduce risk of medic recovery; Macro scale epidemiology
  • Optimization: Target those with best chance of recovery; Dynamic workforce optimization & selection of ‘best’ resource

Army Objectives – Wearable Physiologic Monitor

  • ECG/Heart rate
  • Respiration rate
  • Activity level and body orientation
  • Skin temperature
  • Incorporate Health Status algorithms (GREEN = OK YELLOW = ALERT RED = IMMEDIATE ATTENTION)
  • Broadcast wearer’s status to medic/command center

System Requirements:

  • Reliable vital signs
  • Washable
  • Rugged (soldier’s environment; under armor/gear)
  • Unobtrusive  (Cannot impact soldier’s job/mission)
  • Comfortable - “Wear and Forget”

SmartLife HealthVest® in Military applications:

  • Remotely and continuously, real-time monitoring of the military personnel’s well-being
  • Identifying and alerting the monitoring centre about a wounding event
  • The monitoring centre receives vital data that allows prioritizing actions to be taken in
  • Treating casualties (e.g. Where to send rescue first, prepare hospital / facilities for acquiring wounded personnel)
  • Personalized garments
  • System is self-controlling
