Equivital - Experts & Thought Leaders

Equivital, the company that develops professional wearable technology, announced the launch of eqWave, a wearable social distancing device which enables workers to return to work with confidence. Developed with staff safety in mind, the compact eqWave device works out-of-the-box, alerting personnel if they’re within 2 meters of each other.  The alerting distance is configurable and can be changed in line with current government guidelines. eqWave can be worn anywhere, even with PPE, and uses highly accurate Ultra Wide Band (UWB) radio and Bluetooth technology to detect other devices and measure the distance between them. 360-degree coverage The device offers 360-degree coverage and if there is an infringement it will alert the wearer via a bright LED and haptic vibration that someone else is within 2-metres. In these unprecedented times, eqWave offers employers the ability to provide a safer working environment for staff so that they can confidently adhere to social distancing guidelines while at work. Authority comment EqWave is an added measure in ensuring their safety and well-being amidst COVID-19 “We wanted to support employers to be able to bring their teams back to work safely. An organization has a duty of care for its workforce.”   “eqWave is an added measure in ensuring their safety and well-being. Our team identified a way in which we could support the fight against Covid-19 and have then developed and deployed the eqWave device within record time to support staff returning to work.” Anmol Sood, CEO Equivital Firmware updates The accompanying eqWave partner app will offer ‘over the air’ firmware updates and access to new features such as contact tracing. In addition, organizations can build the EqWave into their existing systems, thanks to the API being made available for 3rd party integration. Features of the eqWave include: High accuracy No additional infrastructure requirement Simple user interface with two modes of alerting Small form factor & lightweight (50g) Configurable – if the social distancing guidelines are reviewed Cost-effective to deploy and scale across an organization

Equivital, the enterprise wearable technology company that offers human data insights, and BodyCAP, the microelectronic physiological monitoring company have partnered to offer core temperature monitoring as part of a holistic physiological data capture, transmit, and analysis solution. Through the partnership, clinical research teams will now have a solution that seamlessly integrates BodyCAP’s core temperature monitoring with Equivital’s FDA and CE cleared multiparameter physiological sensors and solution. This allows researchers to seamlessly gather multi‐parametric data from many people and for this to be presented in a format which is easy to analyze. Benefits of partnership The partnership allows for: A dedicated Equivital eViewer Performance monitor offering data for up to 8 subjects that also supports multiple core capsules per subject. Core body temperature analysis alongside eq02+ LifeMonitor physiological measurements for each subject. An optimised user flow for data analysis. Authority comment By partnering with BodyCAP, Equivital can ensure to collect essential data effectively “I am excited, through this partnership, to offer our customers a wider range of physiological data for use in their studies in a single solution. Just under half of our research community require accurate temperature monitoring alongside cardiorespiratory and activity data.” “By partnering with BodyCAP we are confident that we can provide a comprehensive offering, as well as a good supply chain, ensuring that studies can collect essential data as effectively as possible.” Anmol Sood, Equivital CEO. Multiparameter physiological monitoring “Equivital is a respected brand for multiparameter physiological monitoring in humans and we are happy to partner, providing an integrated offering with their medical grade products. “We are pleased to expand the reach of our technology to researchers that want greater flexibility in number of subjects and types of data. We look forward to finding other ways of making this partnership effective for our valued researchers.” Sébastien Moussay, BodyCAP CEO

At the initiative of Dr. Pierre Lerquet of SSSM 59, Equivital presented at the COEPT (Center for the Observation and Study of Thermal Phenomena) located at the Fire and Rescue Center of Seclin, the Equivital mobile monitoring solution as part of a fire chamber exercise in which the firefighters of the GELD (Long-Term Exploration Group) took part. Device mobility and geolocation  The physiological data collected during the exercise, as well as information on the geolocation and mobility of the firefighters wearing the device (ATEX LifeMonitor consisting of the vest and the SEM sensor), could be visualized in real-time and then detailed retrospectively. Monitoring in the context of this type of exercise shows the vital importance of a precise measurement of the heat stress index (HSI) when firefighters are subjected to very high temperatures on an ad hoc basis (training, interventions) or repetitive (supervision of fire chamber exercises for instructors), which generates pathologies of different natures.
