BAN Systems in PHASER l iDeployments: NetFit

• Automated low cost networked system:• Automated low‐cost networked system:– Fitness assessment – Guidance and intervention

• BAN Technology:• BAN Technology:– State‐of‐the‐art sensors (e.g. heart rate, motion)– Mobile phone for data collection and real‐time feedback

• Main functionalities:Main functionalities:– Determine workload from motion– Compute standard fitness measures: VO2max– Exploring novel fitness measures:p g

• Chronotropic Index (CI)• Cardio‐caloric index (CCI)

– Enables fitness monitoring on treadmill or during outdoor walking/running exercisewalking/running exercise

– Enables assessment and monitoring of strength– Relies on PHASER Information Technology Infrastructure 3

BAN Systems in PHASER Deployments: Advanced ECG Validation

Collaborative work with NASA JSC (Dr. Schlegel)

Advanced ECG Validation: l f db kExamples of Feedback

*Examples extracted from reports generated by Dr. Schlegel

Validation of BAN Systems:i b dPHASER Enterprise Testbed

• Critical requirement for assured qsystem performance, integrity, andoperating lifetime

• PHASER‐ET is developed for Emergency Responders as the first infrastructure for standardized testing and evaluation of equipmentand evaluation of equipment

• PHASER Enterprise Testbed program includes end‐to‐end evaluationcapability with Mobile Testbed

• Provides access to data and open source platform to be distributed to the industry and research community

Validation of BAN Systems:bil b dPHASER Mobile Testbed

• Testing and validation of technology:– Communication (WAN and BAN)– Physiological/Environmental sensors

C ti l tf– Computing platforms– Localization systems (supports collection of groundtruth data for 

testing/evaluation)• Testing and validation for environmental and inter‐systemTesting and validation for environmental and inter system 

interference• Applications to characterize structures/environments of concern

– Buildingsg– Urban canyons,– Other structures

• Concepts inspired by discussions with Prof. Kaveh Pahlavan• Not meant to be deployed on‐mission, but to validate

SummarySummary

• Significant breakthroughs achieved in wearable technology – platforms, radios, sensors

• Wearable technology is portable, energy ffi i t l t d ti lefficient, low‐cost and practical

• Significant growth opportunities– interpretation of collected physiological data– Automated subject guidanceM i i d i /di i i i– Monitoring     detection/diagnosis     intervention, treatment and prevention
