Real-Time Training Heat and Load Monitoring Kits for Ground Forces

Odic proposes to assemble, improve upon, sell, and support as a “kit” a Heat Illness Prevention System (HIPS) that can detect heat strain in soldiers during highly active training periods. The HIPS consists of various components that monitor soldier health in real-time and use algorithms to estimate core body temperature, predict heat stroke, and assess the risk of heat illness. One of the core components of the HIPS is an on-body "puck" that Odic has designed and manufactured. The add-on components of the HIPS include a docking station that can charge and download physiological measurements from up to 25 pucks simultaneously, a watch that transmits critical health status and geo-location in near real-time to a cloud service, and algorithms and software components used for organizing users into squads for tracking and monitoring. Odic, being a private company and a developer of consumer and medical electronic products, is in a unique and qualified position to serve as the single source for purchasing and supporting a commercialized version of the HIPS.
