Project homeUC01.1: Health sensors (Firefighters)
Version 6.1 by Tjalling Haije on 2025/07/08 08:47
Health Sensor – Firefighting
| Objective | |
|---|---|
| TDP | TDP3, TDP6, TDP7 |
| IDP | IDP2, IDP4 |
| Actors | Firefighter, Squad Leader, Medic, Safety Officer |
| Pre-Condition | Wearables are active and connected before firefighters enter the danger zone. |
| Post-Condition | Health alerts handled; intervention performed if needed. |
Action Sequence
- Equipment Check and Deployment
a. Firefighters receive wearable sensors at briefing.
b. Devices are synced to central system and tested.
c. Safety officer confirms connectivity before entry. - Live Monitoring in Action
a. Vitals (e.g. heart rate, CO exposure) are tracked during fire suppression.
b. Firefighters receive vibration or LED warnings if thresholds exceeded.
c. Alerts escalate automatically for predefined danger levels. - Remote Oversight and Alerts
a. Safety officer monitors dashboard for all team vitals.
b. Critical alerts are sent to squad leader.
c. Medic prepares for immediate support if triggered. - Intervention and Team Adjustment
a. Firefighter is pulled out if condition worsens.
b. Medic assesses and logs health data.
c. Squad leader adjusts team composition or rest timing. - Post-Incident Reporting
a. System logs are exported for incident review.
b. Health data supports tactical evaluation and accountability.
| Claims (title) | Function | Effect(s) | Action Sequence Step(s) |
|---|---|---|---|
| CL1 Decreased physical workload for responders | Health tracking, wearable alert | Reduces physical workload by alerting and preventing overexertion --> Measure with ?? (Oude effect van Mark: Prevents unnoticed overexertion ) | 2a, 2b, 2c, 3a |
| CLX Improve safety for responders | Monitoring and alerting of toxic gasses Note: is this an envisioned functionality? | Improves safety by reducing (toxic) gas exposure --> Measure with FR time near toxic gasses, or with near incident analysis. (prevents gas exposure) | 2a, 2b, 2c, 3a |
CLX Improve safety of responders CLX Decrease physical workload for responders | Safety officer monitors team vitals | Safety officer:
| 3a, 3b |
| CL3 Improved SA on personnel status for team lead (and command) | Alert escalation, Live dashboard, Auto-alerts | Command has improved SA on health status of personnel --> Measure with NASA TLX ? | 3a, 3b |
| CLX Support continuous learning with health data for after action review | Health data over time of all FR is exported (and replayable?) after mission | Lessons learned can be idenitified and incorporated incorporated effectively --> measure with ?? | 5a, 5b |
| CL4 Task performance increased | All of the other functions | Task is completed quicker and with better results due to more efficient use of personnel --> Measure with time to mission completion and quality? Note: this claim spans the entire usecase. How do we deal with those types of claims? | all steps |
