Droid Jacket: Using an Android based smartphone for team monitoring

Professionals such as First Responders are frequently exposed to extreme environmental conditions, which induce stress and fatigue during extensive periods of time. In this scenario, the main issues are the quantification and evaluation of stress and fatigue, since uncontrolled levels have a profound and negative impact on human health and performance. Based on an existing wearable monitoring solution - the Vital Jacket®- we propose an individual and team monitoring mobile solution called DroidJacket. DroidJacket is based on Android mobile devices and provides data aggregation, processing, visualization and optionally relaying services. The DroidJacket design is plugin oriented, integrating analysis modules, namely an online ECG plugin for both real time pulse and arrhythmia detection.
