Wearable GPS tracker
This device is implemented by using the embedded Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) module in the smartphone. The main role of the GPS Tracker is to provide the location of the first responders in the field into the main SnR Platform platform, in order to empower the situation awareness of the Field Commander.
Wearable Strain Sensors
The device has the capability to detect uni-axial deformations in both directions. In fact, upwards and downwards bending lead to an increase or decrease of the sensor output current, thus allowing the system to discriminate what sort of deformation has been exerted on the sensor. In particular, within the project, such flexible sensors have been inserted into a fabric and can be sewn onto different parts of a clothes to allow the monitoring of different joints. These data are also transferred to the main SnR Platform, in order to enhance the situation awareness from the field.
Wearable ECG, EMG
Wearable Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Electromyogram (EMG) will be provided with easy-to-use, fast-to-wear sensorized garments by UNICA. Their main role in the SnR project is to monitor the biomedical parameters of the first responders in the field. These data are also transferred to the main SnR Platform, in order to enhance the situation awareness from the field.
Six Gas HazMat Monitor
Six Gas HazMat monitors are portable single-unit gas monitors capable of detecting at the same time multiple dangerous gases, which can affect the emergency area. These detectors show real-time values in a multiple numerical displays, are sensitive, economical, easy to use and safe. In the SnR project, the Six Gas HazMat monitors are used to detect at the same time multiple dangerous gases, which can affect the emergency area in order to protect first responders from high-risk environmental conditions, such as explosions or the release of toxic gases. These data are also transferred to the main SnR Platform, in order to enhance the situation awareness in the field.
Radiation sensors
The X-Rays sensor is an innovative, flexible, two-terminal device. Using a poly-crystalline organic semiconductor film interfaced with gold electrodes, the device can perform direct conversion of the impinging radiation into an electrical signal, without the need of a scintillating element, with sensitivity values comparable with those of small-area, inorganic crystalline materials. These data are also transferred to the main SnR Platform, in order to enhance the situation awareness in the field.
