A vest that uses Bluetooth and can monitor the heart rate, breathing rate, activity level and movement has been manufactured by Tait Communications. It also monitors core body temperature, stress levels and posture of the wearer.
The vest can sound alerts when sudden changes in these measurements occur, give location information via GPS and is lightweight and machine washable.
The Tait BioLink vest is the result of a collaborative project designed to give vital information to incident commanders so they can make critical decisions quickly. The company worked with partners Zephyr Technology.
The vest is still in the early development phases, initially focusing on firefighter training scenarios. Beta trial cycles are due for completion in mid-2013.
