Event monitoring dosimetry apparatuses and methods thereof

A dosimetry apparatus comprising:

• at least one of a pressure sensor or an inertial measurement unit in a housing;
• at least one of a mounting apparatus connected to the housing to mount the housing to an entity or a shock mounting apparatus that shock mounts the inertial measurement unit in the housing;
• and
• a dosimetry processing device with a memory coupled to the at least one of the pressure sensor or the inertial measurement unit in the housing, the dosimetry processing device configured to execute programmed instructions stored in the memory comprising obtaining readings from the at least one of the pressure sensor or the inertial measurement unit, storing the readings when obtained, conducting an analysis based on the obtained readings, and outputting at least one of the stored readings or the conducted analysis.

A method of making a dosimetry apparatus, the method comprising:

• providing at least one sensor in a housing;
• seating a cover configured to permit compression waves to pass through, the cover seated over the at least one sensor;
• and
• coupling a dosimetry processing device with a memory to the at least one sensor in the housing, the dosimetry processing device configured to execute programmed instructions stored in the memory comprising obtaining readings from the at least one sensor, storing the readings when obtained, conducting an analysis based on the obtained readings, and outputting at least one of the stored readings or the conducted analysis.
