respiratory illness, and improve survival rate
• Improve triage on the battlefield and diagnosis of
non-battle injury/illness/disease to expedite care
• Ensure military personnel are fit for duty to operate
in harsh environments
• Enhance training through performance analysis
Additional benefits with applications in first response,
sport and healthcare.
