A medical developer with the U.S. Army Medical Materiel Development Activity (USAMMDA) opens a sensor component of the Health Readiness and Performance System (HRAPS) as part of the 2023 Army Best Squad Competition at Fort Stewart, Georgia, Sept. 29, 2023. A USAMMDA development team is attending the competition to assess the real-world applicability of the HRAPS during training and operations. HRAPS is a wearable device to help frontline medical providers and commanders monitor service members’ physiological responses to rigorous activities during both training and combat. Once fielded, HRAPS may help reduce the risk of non-battle injuries, including heatstroke and overexertion, by providing near-real-time physiological data to help leaders recognize serious medical conditions needing immediate treatment before they become critical. USAMMDA, the DoD’s premier developer of world-class military medical capabilities, develops, delivers, and fields critical drugs, vaccines, biologics, devices, and medical support equipment to protect and preserve the lives of Warfighters across the globe.
