Abstract
A system for monitoring a pilot's health is provided herein. The system may include: a head mounted device mountable to a head of a pilot; at least one vital signs sensor couplable to a body portion of said pilot and configured to obtain vital signs data associated with said pilot; at least one head sensor configured to obtain head-related data associated with the head of said pilot; and a computer processor configured to receive the vital signs data and the head-related data as an input and generate as an output, an indication of pilot incompetence, based on predefined criteria.
Claims27
A system comprising:
- a head mounted device mountable to a head of a pilot;
- at least one vital signs sensor couplable to a body part of said pilot and configured to repeatedly obtain in real time, vital signs data associated with said pilot;
- at least one head sensor coupled to said head mounted device and configured to repeatedly obtain in real time head-related data associated with at least one of:
- inertia, position, and orientation of the head of said pilot;
- and
- a computer processor configured to simultaneously receive the vital signs data and the head-related data as an input to a decision function and generate a prediction of pilot incompetence, based on predefined criteria.
A method comprising:
- obtaining repeatedly and in real time, vital signs data associated with a pilot;
- obtaining repeatedly and in real time, head-related data associated with at least one of:
- inertia, position, and orientation of the head of said pilot;
- receiving simultaneously the vital signs data and the head-related data as an input to a decision function;
- and
- generating as an output by the decision function, a prediction of pilot incompetence, based on said input and predefined criteria.
