Wearable system for stress monitoring of firefighters in special missions

The paper proposes a telemonitoring wearable system to be used by firefighters in dangerous missions. The current work is based on previous research of the authors conducted on heat and mental stress detection and on physiological parameters monitoring using wearable systems. A wearable garment was designed to monitor the wearer´s physiological signals and the ambient conditions (temperature and humidity) and a machine learning algorithm was used to detect the mental stress of the wearer.
