United States - Heat Illness Preventions devices

Description

Commercial description:  A wearable device with enhanced functionality that detects heat stress in real time and that can predict heat stroke/ heat strain risk based on skin temperature, estimated core body temperature, gait instability, and transmit that data in an aggregated form.                                                                                                                              
Intended use: Training and Education Command requires a capability to individually and continuously monitor personnel conducting training for signs and symptoms of heat stress that can quickly identify and effectively enable heat injury prevention actions in real time. The capability modernizes current manual procedures used by instructor cadre and training staff to prevent exertional heat illness and injury (heat strain, heat stroke, death). The device is used during physically demanding training events in individual or group settings in a military training environment (physical fitness training and testing, conditioning hikes, the Crucible, etc).
