The U.S. Army has selected 24 small businesses to develop advanced wearable technologies designed to address current and future warfighting needs.
The selected companies will receive Phase I Small Business Innovation Research contracts worth $150,000 each to produce a wearable device capable of sensing and monitoring real-time physiological data to assess a warfighter’s health and readiness, the Army said Monday.
In a solicitation notice, the service branch said the new Wearable Technologies for Physiological Monitoring program is aimed at improving disease detection and illness prediction during training and operational missions.
Phase I will run for 90 days and focus on the scientific, technical and commercial feasibility of a selected wearable device concept.
