The project
SIXTHSENSE (Smart Integrated eXtreme environmenT Health monitor with Sensory feedback for ENhanced Situation awarEness), a multidisciplinary innovation and research project, has the overall goal of developing a wearable health monitoring system with tactile biofeedback that allows first responders in hazardous situations to monitor their current state of health.
Predictive models based on multimodal biosensor data will provide early warning of overload and hazardous situations, which can prevent the imminent loss of operational capability. As a team management tool, the system will enable real-time monitoring of all deployed forces, thus helping to increase team efficiency and operational safety.
Our activities in the project
The contribution of the DIGITAL Institute builds on developments and experiences in the field of decision support for emergency services and research with human factors analysis. With the support of Wolfgang Kallus (University of Graz), Lucas Paletta's team investigated stress scenarios that impair situational awareness in critical decision-making processes. In many field trials, data was collected from wearable biosensors and mobile eye-tracking systems to estimate the status of human physical and cognitive readiness and provide AI-enabled recommendations for risk mitigation. In addition, our researchers at the institute developed innovative mobile decision-making aids for firefighters through their expertise in the field of real-time data communication.
