TECHNICAL OBJECTIVE #1 REPORTING. OVERALL, WE PLAN TO HAVE ROUTINE VERBAL AND WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS WITH NASA AND AFRL. THIS WILL INCLUDE QUARTERLY REPORTS AS WELL AS TELECONFERENCES AS NEEDED. TECHNICAL OBJECTIVE #2 VITALS STRAP FORM FACTOR DESIGN. WE WILL NEED TO DEVELOP A STRAP DESIGN THAT IS COMPARABLE IN TERMS OF SKIN CONTACT AND POSITIONING AS THE GEL-ADHESIVE CURRENTLY USED WITH THE SKYE SENSOR. IN PARTICULAR, WE WILL EXPLORE VARIOUS STRAP ORIENTATIONS TO ARRIVE AT A DESIGN THAT OFFERS THE COMFORT AND FLEXIBILITY OF THE GEL ADHESIVE PROVIDES TO WEARERS WITH DIFFERENT UPPER BODY TYPES. TECHNICAL OBJECTIVE #3 VITALS STRAP CONSTRUCTION. WE WILL BUILD A NUMBER OF VITAL STRAPS, TEST THESE STRAPS WITH DIFFERENT USERS, AND MAKE SLIGHT ALTERATIONS AS NEEDED TO THE DECIDED-UPON DESIGN WITH MOBILITY, COMFORT, TEMPERATURE, AND EXTREME ENVIRONMENT VARIABILITY IN MIND. TECHNICAL OBJECTIVE #4 SKYE SENSOR PERFORMANCE WITH VITALS STRAP CHARACTERIZATION AND CALIBRATION. WE WILL CHARACTERIZE THE PERFORMANCE WITH VITALS STRAP BY COMPARING DATA GENERATED USING THE SKYE SENSOR WITH (1) THE PERFORMANCE WITH SKYE SENSOR GEL-ADHESIVES, AND THE COTS AND FDA REGULATED CORTEMP INGESTIBLE PILL (HQINC.) THE SKYE SENSOR WILL NEED TO BE RECALIBRATED TO ADJUST FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE VITALS STRAP, AND IN PARTICULARLY WITH REGARDS TO CORE TEMPERATURE MONITORING. IN ORDER TO DO THIS, IT WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL ALGORITHM ADJUSTMENTS. TECHNICAL OBJECTIVE #5 DELIVER HARDWARE TO AFRL. AT THE CONCLUSION OF THIS PHASE II-E, WE WILL DELIVER THE SKYE SENSOR AND VITALS STRAP HARDWARE TO AFRL.
