  2. Performance Objectives for WPI’s Integrated System • Fundamental capabilities: • 3-D location of each user relative to a chosen reference point • Graphical display at the incident command center • Graphical path information on all users • Accuracy: 1m (2D) and floor level (3D) • Physiological information telemetry • Heart Rate • Respiration Rate • Oxygen Saturation Level • Skin, and Environment Temperature • Posture and Activity Level • Core Body Temperature (with ingestible capsule)

  3. Wearable Wireless Physiological Sensor Optical Module Disposable battery Head Band • Flexible Configuration • Rechargeable Battery • SpO2 • HR • HRV – sympathetic/parasympathetic • Arrhythmia detection • Respiration rate • Perfusion Index • Posture • Activity • Skin temperature • Motion artifact detection • Carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO) • Hydration/fluid volume loss • Core body temperature* Streaming Measurements: USB-BasedReceiver Under development

  4. System Overview Personnel Unit Commander Display Reference units

  5. 2008 PPL Workshop DemoWFD: Full CONOPs search and rescue Five WFD teams test five search and rescue systems

  6. BALSM • Battlefield Automatic Life Status Monitor • Remotely monitor physiological signs for the purpose of triage, rescue or recovery and provide a health status history over time for each member of a Special Forces team. Development as part of QinetiQ-NA project for AFRL

  7. August 1-2, 2011 Workshop
