A wearable intelligent system for real time monitoring firefighter's physiological state and predicting dangers

摘要

Since firefighters usually work in high risky working conditions, like high temperature, toxic gases, flames, explosion or collapse. It is extremely important to monitor their physiological states by analyzing in real time the firefighter's information on their health states. Moreover, it is certain that transmitting the firefighter's physiological information to the fire information center by wireless network is an important task for ensuring firefighter's safety. For this purpose, we propose a wearable intelligent system, which is embedded into the firefighter's garments, permitting to estimate the physiological state of firefighters according to the data from the embedded physiological sensors and transmit the relevant information to the command center by wireless network. The system can also collect environmental information, like air temperature and CO2 (smoke level), which is useful for evaluating the gravity of the risk scenario and sending predicted warning messages in advance.
