Lifeguard
From Capsil Wiki
The NASA Ames Research Center (Astrobionics) and Stanford University (National Center for Space Biological Technologies) are currently developing a wearable physiological monitoring system for astronauts, called LifeGuard [1], that meets all of the above requirements and is also applicable to clinical, home-health monitoring, first responder and military applications. It is comprised of physiological sensors (ECG/respiration electrode patch, pulse oximeter, blood pressure monitor), a small wearable computer (termed CPOD, for Crew Physiological Observation Device) with internal sensors (activity via 3-axis accelerometers and skin temperature), and a display station (Tablet PC).
