Patent number: 10022088Abstract: A wearable sensor retaining device and techniques for integrating a wearable sensor retaining device into a first responder's garment, such as a firefighter's shirt. The wearable sensor retaining device may include a strap having a rigid connector having a male portion and a female portion (e.g. a side-release buckle) for adjustably securing the strap around a wearer's torso to ensure proper location of the wearable sensor and proper fit for the wearer. The strap has a portion for coupling to a wearable sensor and having sufficient tension to retain the wearable monitor in the proper location, while maintaining wearer comfort so as not to impede the range of motion of the wearer. The strap may include a length adjustment loop that provides the wearer a customized fit and quick, consistent application.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2014Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: Globe Holding Company, LLCInventors: Mark Mordecai, Birgit Leitner, Kathleen McNutt, Julie Snedeker, Karen Carter, Clare King
