About

FireBeats

Despite the risks of burns/smoke inhalation and other myriad physical dangers inherent in firefighting,Sudden Cardiac Events (SCEs) is the leading cause (50-60%) of firefighter morbidity and on-duty deaths. Early identification of cardiovascular health risks (e.g., hypertension, arrhythmia, sleep apnea, etc.) that increase the possibility of SCE, continuous monitoring of disease progression, and addressing risks in a timely manner can increase the chances of preventing or surviving an SCE. Thus, real-time monitoring of firefighters' physiological data is highly recommended. FireBeats is an AI-based remote health monitoring app for firefighters that monitors the physiological data of firefighters using personal wireless wearable health trackers, evaluates cardiovascular risk factors, and alerts firefighters about impending risks for sudden cardiac events.
