The Value Proposition
![Page 3: The Hot System](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051516/559c5ac31a28ab7e6e8b472e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Wireless RF Technology
One of the central components within the HOT system is
the wireless RF (Radio Frequency) tag that sends data to a Incident Commander or Medical Divison Officer’s PDA.
• Intelligent Long Range (ILR) active RFID tag• 400 yard read/write radius• Temperature logging
• 1,000-tag simultaneous identification• Battery life – two year plus• Impact resistant & Industrial Housing• Water proof• Stand by mode – no need to turn on/off

Sensor Technology
Sensor hardware is also a primary component and directly measures forehead temperature and estimates core temperature.
•Custom Design
•Measures temp from temporal artery
•Captures multiple readings
•Impact Resistant
•Non-Invasive, “Pinpoint” size
•Only weighs 14 grams

PDA Hardware & Software Solution
The handheld PDA is the Incident Commander’s tool which supports their ability to monitor the temperature trends of every firefighter. It’s equipped with proprietary software specifically for heat monitoring.
•-Customizable database
•-Up to 1,000 firefighters accessible
•-Built-in audible alert
•-Historical data

The Components
Heat Sensing The highly-sensitive sensor measures forehead skin temperature from
the temporal artery. Preliminary data indicates that there is a correlation between forehead temperature and core body temperature as measured with our device. Kennesaw State University is in the process of further validating this data.
Remote reportingThe system is equipped with a custom RF tag or assembly that
gathers heat data and transmits it to a handheld PDA. The data can be
downloaded to a user’s computer and reports are generated that detail dates, times, and temperature readings for each individual firefighter.

The Components (cont.)
Software ApplicationProprietary software shows firefighter information such as
temperature, rank, employee number, unit number, emergency contact
information, and any known medical conditions.
Customized DatabaseAllows each department to create additional fields of data
regarding the firefighter (ex. weight, height, physical condition,
etc.).

Helmet Placement of Sensor
• Can retrofit any helmet design
• Sensor is placed on forehead padding for optimal reading
• Does not interfere with vision or donning of helmet

Mask Placement of Sensor
• Sensor pad can be trimmed to pinpoint size of thermistor and does not interfere with vision or air seal.
• Can retro fit any make of SCBA mask.
Tag is positioned below mouth cup which does not interfere with vision or air seal.
