  • Patent number: 12635744
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method, system, and apparatus of a biometric sensor of a tactical gear to monitor health and stress of a wearer. In one embodiment, personal protective equipment includes a language translator module integrated in a tactical gear, a biometric sensor, and a responsive device integrated in the tactical gear. A wearer bi-directionally communicates with an individual in an ambient environment using any language other than a primary language spoken by the wearer when the language translator module is activated. The biometric sensor detects the health condition of the wearer. The responsive device vibrates to notify the wearer when the biometric sensor detects an elevated stress level of the wearer of the tactical gear. The biometric sensor is detachable from the tactical gear and placeable on an injured person nearby to the wearer through an armband extendable from the biometric sensor when it is removed from the tactical gear.

  • Patent number: 12392583
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method, system, and apparatus of s body safety device with visual sensing and haptic response using artificial intelligence. In one embodiment, a body worn safety device includes a visual sensor integrated into a tactical gear and a haptic feedback device integrated in the tactical gear. The haptic feedback device vibrates when the visual sensor detects an ambient threat to a wearer of the tactical gear. The haptic feedback device may detect the ambient threat using an artificial intelligence based threat detection model. The visual sensor may be part of an array of visual sensors around a torso of the wearer such that ambient threats around the wearer are captured through the artificial intelligence based threat detection model. A battery unit may be detachable from the tactical gear.
