ARMOR consists of a heart rate sensor, the ARMOR device and ARMOR app. From the heart rate data, the core body temperature of each soldier is estimated and this information is sent to the app. The app provides an overview with details of all participants. For each participant, the current estimated core body temperature is displayed, as well as the physiological strain index (PSI). The PSI is a rating of the relative heat strain on a scale of 1 to 12.As soon as the heat strain of a participant is too high, the app will sound an alarm. The supervisor can then intervene immediately and initiate actions according to a defined protocol.

The device helps to identify the first indications that cause heat stress and serves as an incentive for a medical check to prevent this.

• Accurately collects heart rate data and estimates the core body temperature
• Helps to identify an increased risk of heat-related injury
• A comfortable and non-invasive way of monitoring heat stress
• Clear overview with the PSI score of each soldier
