WEARABLE INFORMATION
A Soldier puts on an Equivital chest harness, which incorporates USARIEM’s ECTemp algorithm to record heart rate changes over time. The heart rate indicates how much blood flows to muscles and the skin, from which researchers can extrapolate how much heat is being generated and lost by the body. Medics and leaders looking to prevent heat illness in Solders can monitor Soldiers’ body temperatures if the ECTemp technology is included in a wearable monitor like the chest harness.
