`Motivation
`Telemedicine using wearable sensors can
`provide useful information for emergency
`first responders and facilitate life saving
`rescues of:
`
`• Soldiers
`• Firefighters
`• Mountain climbers
`
`Operating in harsh and hazardous environments
`(cid:190) Operating over large geographical terrains

`

`

`Motivation
`• Data derived from sensors can provide input
`information in models developed to assess and
`predict the health status of wounded soldiers.
`• The reliability of the wearable sensors used
`and the data extracted is essential for the
`successful implementation of these predictive
`models.

`Motivation
`Representative Technology Needs for
`Improved Incident Management:
`
`Personnel monitoring (physiological
`monitoring of firefighters) capability — In
`particular, integrated body-worn sensor
`suite to provide real-time health analysis
`and issue alarms to both wearer and
`command staff.

`

`Motivation
`• Firefighters experience tremendous CV
`demands with high-levels of short-term
`strenuous physical workloads and overexertion.
`• Increased HR and core body temperature leads
`to increased physiological stress.
`• Risks related to exhaustion, overheating and
`inhalation of combustion products can lead to
`work injuries and fatalities.

`

`Background
`Pulse oximeters are commonly employed
`in nearly all hospital areas where patients
`are at an increased risk of developing
`hypoxemia
`(cid:131) OR (Anesthesia)
`(cid:131) ER
`(cid:131) ICU
`(cid:131) Ambulances

`
`

`

`Background
`• Appeared in the early 1980’s.
`• Gained overnight popularity.
`• By 1987, the standard of care for the
`administration of a general anesthetic in
`the USA included pulse oximetry.
`• Transformed monitoring hypoxemia from
`a crude and imprecise visual color
`assessment into a reliable, quick,
`noninvasive and objective measurement.
`• Now a mature technology in hospitals.

`

`

`Background
`• Life depends on uninterrupted O2 supply.
`• Different organs and tissues can survive lack of O2 for
`different lengths of time: The brain is the most rapidly and
`irrevocably damaged organ.
`• Because the brain regulates breathing
`and circulation, supplying O2 to the whole body,
`deprivation of O2 supply to the brain can be fatal.
`• Mild cases of hypoxia can cause poor judgment and
`uncoordinated movement. Severe cases death is inevitable.
`• After ~5 min, cutting off blood supply to the brain causes
`cells to die.
`• Timing is everything!

`Advantage of Reflectance Mode
`
`Why the Forehead ?
`
`(cid:131) Does not impede hand movements.
`(cid:131) Easy sensor attachment.
`(cid:131) More motion tolerant location (skull provides
`mechanical support).
`(cid:131) Provides strong and clean PPG signals.

`Use of Commercial Pulse Oximeters
`as a Wearable Device in the Field is
`Challenging

`• Must operate reliably under adverse

`

`Limitations of Pulse Oximetry
`• Highly reliable when used on motionless
`subjects.
`• Motion artifacts can obscure the true PPG
`signal with noise, leading to inaccurate
`readings, false alarms, dropouts, and
`missed true alarms.

`

`Future Developments
`
`• Firefighters can experience inhalation of CO (e.g.
`malfunctioning furnaces) and Cyanide (e.g.
`burning plastic products).
`• Acute CO and HCN poisoning renders the blood
`unable to carry sufficient amount of O2.
`• Symptoms of acute exposure include general
`weakness, headache, confusion, anxiety, nausea
`and vomiting.
`• If exposure is severe, unconsciousness and
`death.

`

`Future Developments
`• Traditional testing of HbCO and MetHb involves
`blood sampling and waiting for lab results.
`• Conventional pulse oximeters use only
`two wavelengths of light.
`(cid:190) They cannot distinguish between HbO2, HbCO
`and MetHb.
`(cid:190) Provide false readings when CO and MetHb
`levels are elevated.
`
`• Multi-wavelengths to measure SpO2, HR, HbCO
`and MetHb, simultaneously.
