Cambridge innovator Hidalgo is at a major expo in the US demonstrating life-saving technology to the US military.

It is parading the critical qualities of the Equivital EQ02 LifeMonitor at Soldier Technology US in Arlington. Also on show is the UK company’s new eqView software which allows data to be recorded, viewed, analysed and acted on.

Key personnel from the US Army, US Marine Corps and Special Forces across North America, Canada and Western Europe, are viewing the technology.

Equivital solutions – pioneered by Hidalgo’s team of engineers, scientists and doctors for over 10 years - are being used widely to assess the impact of load, activity, environment and fatigue on cognitive and physical performance of the individual soldier and collective group.

The new Equivital training solution feeds in to the improvement of the effectiveness of the soldier and the squad by providing actionable information about each soldier and their unit’s collective performance to relevant command personnel.

This includes real time information on location, performance and welfare along with comprehensive retrospective analysis capability.

The flagship ‘Equivital LifeMonitor’ was designed in partnership with the US Army Institute of Environmental Medicine and has been tested in both US Army and US Marine Corps field trials.

The LifeMonitor incorporates a miniaturised body-worn sensor designed on a ‘wear and forget’ principle that senses, records, processes and transmits data from the human body.

The new eqView software for PC, web and mobile allows data to be viewed, analysed and acted upon in real time, along with comprehensive development kits to allow integration into wider soldier system architecture.

The exhibition runs during the Soldier Technology US modernisation conference and exhibition from today to Thursday.
