Wireless RF Technology

One of the central components within the HOT system is

the wireless RF (Radio Frequency) tag that sends data to a medic or PDA.

• Intelligent Long Range (ILR) active RFID tag• 300 yard read/write radius• Temperature logging• 1,000-tag simultaneous identification• Battery life – one year plus• Impact resistant & Industrial Housing• Water proof

Sensor Technology

Sensor hardware is also a primary component and directly measures forehead temperature and estimates core temperature.

•Custom Design

•Measures temp from temporal artery

•Captures multiple readings

•Impact Resistant

•Non-Invasive, “Pinpoint” size

•Only weighs 14 grams

PDA Hardware & Software Solution

The handheld PDA is the medic’s tool which supports their ability to monitor the temperature trends of every soldier. It’s equipped with proprietary software specifically for heat monitoring.

• Customizable database• Up to 1,000 helmets accessible• Built-in audible alert• Historical data

The Components

Heat SensingThe highly-sensitive sensor measures forehead skin temperature from

the temporal artery. Preliminary data indicates that there is a correlation between forehead temperature and core body temperature as measured with our device. Kennesaw State University is in the process of further validating this data.

Remote reportingThe system is equipped with a custom RF tag or assembly that

gathers heat data and transmits it to a handheld PDA. The data can be

downloaded to a user’s computer and reports are generated that detail dates, times, and temperature readings for each individual soldier.

The Components (cont.)

Software ApplicationProprietary software shows soldier information such as

temperature, name, rank, and any known medical conditions.

Customized DatabaseAllows each unit to create additional fields of data

regarding the soldier (ex. weight, height, physical condition,

etc.).
