Progress in Development of a Miniature Environmental Heat Stress Monitor (HSM)

Abstract

The environmental heat stress monitor (HSM) is a pocket-sized electronic device that uses microprocessor technology to integrate the USARIEM heat strain prediction model software with a comprehensive suite of environmental sensors. It can provide real-time tailored guidance to reduce heat injury risk across the spectrum of heat stress environments including chemical protective clothing encapsulation. This report describes current status of the HSM as it has evolved through a series Army technology base efforts to support potential Army applications and related efforts undertaken through a cooperative research and development agreement (CRDA) to develop a hand-held heat stress monitor suitable for application in Australian industry.
