Physical Impact

This study assessed the human factors issues associated with wearing a Vital Sign Detection System (VSDS), a body worn physiological monitoring system. Experienced combat Soldiers ( n = 27) participated in a combat training exercise of ∼ 120 hr while wearing the VSDS. They were then given a questionnaire to assess comfort, physical impact on the body, and acceptability of the VSDS as well as questions on fit, impact on performance, and durability of the VSDS. Comfort was impacted the most by the VSDS when in the prone position, possibly affecting sleep, and prone position rifle shooting. Skin irritation or discomfort was reported in 85% of respondents. Sixty-two percent thought the VSDS was not acceptable to wear for ≥ 8 hr. Yet, at the same time, 92% of Soldiers approved of the concept for health monitoring, and 89% said they would wear the VSDS as is if it could help save their life. The VSDS needs to be modified to be more comfortable before it can be fielded for medical monitoring of Soldiers in the field.
