Abstract

Military service members, whether in training or deployed, are exposed to extreme conditions that jeopardize their health, safety, and performance. New sensors that enable real-time monitoring of warfighter capabilities will not only enhance their performance but also prevent injuries. This presentation showcases how stimuli-responsive materials coupled with unique measurement strategies/algorithms can provide new data streams and insights on warfighter health and performance. The focus will be on recent developments in nanocomposite wearable sensors for physical and physiological monitoring. In addition, densely distributed motion and muscular engagement monitoring can be achieved when wearable sensors are coupled with tomographic methods.
