TrainTrak
Personnel Status Monitor for Military Training and Operations
The TrainTrak™ personnel status monitoring ensemble is a comfortable, non-invasive, garment-based system that can be used in a variety of highly-active military, first responder and athletic applications. This fully integrated system monitors heart and respiration rate, posture, activity, and GPS location and wirelessly transmits the data to a remote display unit. Multiple users can be monitored simultaneously and their data can be saved for later analysis.
The core technology of the system is an unobtrusive sensor network embedded into our shirt designed to be worn by itself or as a base layer under body armor or other protective gear. A small, rugged electronics module fits into the shirt and houses the data processing electronics, radio transceiver and rechargeable battery. The remote display receives processed and filtered information from the system indicating the physiologic status of individual wearers. A series of alarm parameters can be set by the operator, including out-of-bounds, no motion, loss of signal and stationary. This information is collected in real-time with the goal of increasing the situational awareness of the observer and enhancing his or her decision-making ability.
