How might we enable real-time monitoring of an individual’s core body temperature to prevent heat injuries?
Background/ Context
As their core body temperature rise, people exercising or working at outdoor environments are most susceptible to heat injuries.
There are existing mitigating measures to prevent heat injuries, such as monitoring the web bulb globe temperature, and implementing work-rest cycles. However, we lack the ability to monitor a person’s core body temperature in real time so as to provide timely notification of an impending heat injury.
Solution
The proposed solution should be lightweight (less than 30g is desirable).
The software design should be created as an open architecture for future integration.
The system should be able to operate for a minimum of 4 hours.
For health monitoring, the solution should be able to monitor and provide real-time updates of the following:
- Heart rate; and
- Core body temperature
Real-time alerts should be provided to notify the user that he/she is required to rest or cool down to prevent heat exhaustion.
The MVP should provide live monitoring of a personnel via a wearable.
Opportunities & Incentives
Selected solution providers will get a chance to run a pilot, fully funded by MINDEF.
Solution providers are encouraged to include a summary quotation along with their submission.
Please refer to the Terms and Conditions and FAQ for further details.
