PERFORMANCE ALGORITHMS

In collaboration with U.S. Army and academic research institutes, we are developing a smartphone ‘dashboard’ app, which converts physiological data obtained from devices worn by a Soldier into actionable information. The goal is to improve Warfighter readiness by providing Soldiers with a health- and performance-monitoring dashboard that offers individually tailored countermeasures to improve mental acuity, reduce the risk of heat-related injuries, and maintain or restore physical performance.
