| 19 | === **Action Sequence** === | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | 1. **Sensor Setup and Readiness** | ||
| 22 | a. Wearables are distributed and calibrated at staging area. | ||
| 23 | b. Each responder confirms correct placement and pairing. | ||
| 24 | c. System diagnostics confirm connectivity to C3I and health monitoring software. | ||
| 25 | 1. **Monitoring and Local Alerts** | ||
| 26 | a. Wearables measure vitals (e.g. heart rate, temp, hydration). | ||
| 27 | b. Local LED/sound alerts notify responder of rising stress or danger. | ||
| 28 | c. Non-critical data is logged passively for review. | ||
| 29 | 1. **Remote Monitoring and Escalation** | ||
| 30 | a. Safety officer observes all live health feeds via dashboard. | ||
| 31 | b. Alerts for critical thresholds trigger visual/audio warnings. | ||
| 32 | c. Team leader is notified and confirms next action (pause, replace, extract). | ||
| 33 | 1. **Medical Decision and Evacuation** | ||
| 34 | a. Medic evaluates responder if thresholds persist. | ||
| 35 | b. If required, team extracts responder for treatment. | ||
| 36 | c. Info logged and synced to medical HQ for continuity of care. | ||
| 37 | 1. **Command-Level Operational Adjustment** | ||
| 38 | a. Based on patterns, team rotations or routes are adjusted. | ||
| 39 | b. System records trends for debrief and post-mission reporting. | ||

| 42 | |=**Claims (title)**|=**Function**|=**Effect(s)**|=**Action Sequence Step(s)** | ||
| |
7.1 | 43 | |**CL1 Decreased physical workload for responders**|Health tracking, wearable alert|Reduces overexertion by triggering alerts when vitals (e.g. heart rate, hydration) cross thresholds → supports timely pause or extraction. |
| |
6.1 | 44 | Prevents unnoticed fatigue. |
| 45 | → Measure with responder stress/effort logs or HR trends.|2a, 2b, 3a | ||
| |
7.1 | 46 | |**CL2 Improve safety for responders **|LED/sound alert on wearables|Improve first responder safety, by giving responders insight into vitals and allow them to self-correct behavior (e.g. slow down, drink water). |
| |
6.1 | 47 | → Measure with behavioral changes or pre-/post-incident interviews.|2b |
| |
7.1 | 48 | |**CL3 Improve safety via remote escalation**|Dashboard monitoring, alert protocol|Improves safety by ensuring safety officers can intervene remotely based on live vitals. |
| |
6.1 | 49 | → Measure with time to intervention or false negative ratio.|3a, 3b, 4a |
| |
7.1 | 50 | |**CL4 Decrease physical workload for responders**|Safety officer monitors team vitals|Safety officer decreases physical workload by double checking FR status |
| 51 | → measured as above|3a | ||
| 52 | |**CL5 Improve medical decision-making**|Medical triage supported by sensor data|Increases effectiveness and efficiency through informed medical response and appropriate treatment via vitals history. | ||
| 53 | → measure with time for FR treatment and FR time-to-recovery.|4a, 4b, 4c | ||
| 54 | |**CL6 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 | ||
| 55 | → Measure with NASA TLX ?|3c | ||
| 56 | |**CL7 Support continuous learning with health data for after action review**|Health data exported after mission|Lessons learned can be identified and incorporated incorporated effectively | ||
| 57 | → Measure with incorporation in debriefing and training protocols using questionnaire / interview?|5a, 5b | ||
| 58 | |**CL8 Improve mission performance**|Combination of all functions|Task is completed quicker and with better results due to more efficient use of personnel | ||
| |
6.1 | 59 | → Measure with task time, number of extractions avoided, or successful rescues.|All steps |
