Abstract :
This presentation provides a description of the challenges of wearable optical and acoustic vital sign sensors integrated in work equipment. It proposes a solution to the artifact and wearability problems by (1) using a combination of sensing techniques (2) placing the sensors at various key locations on the body and (3) applying data fusion algorithms that adapt to varying levels of noise
