An easy-to-use and near-autonomous system

Hand holding three Blast Gauge sensors in open palm

The Blast Gauge® System is a set of 3 wearable sensors that collect multidirectional overpressure, acceleration, and body loading data for detailed blast event data collection, analysis, and exposure monitoring.

Easy to Use Mobile Connectivity

  1. Quickly set up, activate, and assign gauges to an individual
  2. Rapidly and easily check data in the field (Red, Yellow, Green LED indicator or on an Android™ device)
  3. Inform post-exposure assessments
  4. Periodically send data to a central repository
  5. Review centralized data to identify trends, minimize exposures, and guide treatment

Management applications are availabe for both MS Windows and Android enabling both device configuration and analysis of captured data.

Key Benefits

Research suggests that repetitive exposure to blast overpressure, even at low levels, can cause concussion- like symptoms and long-term neurodegenerative disease, including: structural changes in the brain, increased PTSD, acceleration of age-associated neurological disorders, and persistent concussion symptoms. The blast gauge was built to protect soldiers from this difficult to detect threat.

Triage capable

Identify individuals exposed to dangerous levels of overpressure, allowing for targeted medical assessment.

Exposure tailored treatment

Data is transferred wirelessly to a mobile app or via USB to a PC for detailed event analysis.

Durable

The fully encapsulated design withstands weather and impact.

Automated

Blast overpressure and acceleration data are automatically collected and classified.

Reprogrammable

Load latest algorithms at time of activation.

Small

Less than two cubic inches.

Flexible

Instantly mounts to helmet, gear, and vehicles.

Inexpensive

Quickly outfit deployed troops and personnel.

Secure

Operator privacy protected.

Multipurpose

Route clearance, training, SOF, breaching, SWAT, and bomb squad.

Made in the USA

Proudly keeping jobs at home.
