Smart Safety for Defense & First Response

Smart Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that integrates sensors has enabled a human-centric safety by continuously, non-invasively monitoring vital signs of its users, allowing for data-driven decision making to optimize performance and protection.

Developed in response to workplace accidents and fatalities of personnel subjected to harsh conditions, epyMetrics is the only wearable platform to track Sweat Rate, Core Body Temperature, Heart Rate, and Activity in real time. With their understanding of thermoregulatory & cardiovascular responses to heat and other physiological challenges, they aim to prevent heat injury & fatigue during highly stressful tasks.
