Physiological monitoringProfessionals in hostile, confined or extreme environments
are on their own during their operations.
They are subject to harsh conditions that induce very strong
physiological constraints : However, very well protected by their PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) and totally focused on their mission, they are not able to detect their "physiological overload" and therefore the risk of accident. Similarly, the support team, outside the danger zone, has no way of knowing the reality on the ground to anticipate or detect these situations. Yet, these professionals are firefighters, workers in the nuclear, petrochemical, or hazardous environments, their physiological parameters can help detecting very rapid degradation of their safety ! The APPIPhy product line (Active Protection Personal Instrument) is a safety equipment, light and functional to detect risk situations. It is now possible : Lives can be saved as well ! In the military and firefighters training centers, instructors frequently have difficulties to have their trainees accepting the fact that human body has limits : it can wait till accident occurs to realize the danger! With
APPIPhy, trainers can measure and demonstrate to
trainees the physiological stress suffered during operations.
