Abstract: Featured are bracelets including a geolocation sensor and one or more physiological sensors. The physiological sensors may be selected from a heart rate sensor, an oxygen saturation sensor, a blood pressure sensor, a respiratory rate sensor, a temperature sensor, a vital sign monitoring (VSM) sensor, an impact detection sensor, a position sensor, a contact sensor, a hydration sensor, an electrolyte sensor, and a movement sensor. The geolocation sensor and/or the one or more physiological sensors may be integrated within the bracelet. In some embodiments, the geolocation sensor and/or the one or more physiological sensors may be configured to be activated upon contact with a user and/or deformation of the bracelet.

Abstract: Featured are devices (e.g., peripheral devices) and systems that interact with a device having sensors (e.g., a wearable device or device configured for use with a piece of equipment, such as a vehicle) to receive and process data (e.g., physiological data) from the sensors. Also featured are computer implemented methods including software (e.g., an application) for receiving and processing data by the peripheral device. An application that communicates with the device (e.g., wearable device or equipment device) and sensor information processed by the application or a device running or accessing the application provides situational awareness for users in adverse conditions, such as during combat or wartime. The wearable device may include one or more inflatable bladders configured to apply pressure to a wound site for treatment.

Abstract: The invention features methods and devices for controlling bleeding from blood vessels that may be damaged as a result of trauma or impact with an object, such as a bullet or shrapnel. The device may be wearable by a user and include one or more components, such as wound sealant and multiple inflatable balloons/bladders. The device may be integrated into a garment, e.g., a vest, jacket, trousers, or full body suit. Once triggered (automatically or manually), the device may be used to deliver wound sealant to a wound site and/or pressure to the wound site by selective inflation of one or more balloons over exsanguinating blood vessels that may be damaged, thereby stopping or minimizing the bleeding. Alternatively, or in addition, the device may be used to stabilize a wounded wearer for, e.g., transportation purposes, or to provide buoyancy. Devices of the invention may also be used as a blood pressure monitor, as a massaging device, and as a breast pump.

Abstract: Described herein is a garment (e.g., pants, underpants, shorts, headgear, a skullcap, a glove, socks, shoes, a vest, a jacket, a shirt, an undershirt, an undergarment, or a full body suit) that can be worn by a wearer (e.g., military or civilian law enforcement personnel, an emergency first responder, or a dog) that includes inflatable bladders. When activated, the bladders of the garment inflate, thereby providing an increase in buoyancy to the wearer of the garment, e.g., while swimming.

Abstract: Featured are impact detection sensors that include a nonconductive layer disposed between two conductive layers. Each conductive layer includes an electrical circuit configured to generate a signal in response to an impact. Also featured are devices (e.g., a wearable device or device configured for use with a piece of equipment, such as a vehicle) including a plurality of impact detection sensors. The device having sensors can receive and process data from the sensors and provide situational awareness for users in adverse conditions, such as during combat or wartime. The wearable device may further include one or more inflatable bladders configured to apply pressure to a wound site for treatment.
