Resilience is a protective factor in mitigating military mental health concerns, but measurement of resilience is typically based on subjective reports and is therefore, susceptible to biases, which justifies the need for objective biomarkers of resilience. Therefore, wearable sensors (LifeLens device) that measure an array of physiological metrics may be harnessed in order to provide a real time monitoring solution in theater and in garrison for stress and resilience of military personnel. To test the suitability of this wearable sensor system for broad military operational use, advanced development is required to translate priorities into a fieldable system that is ready for acquisition. Thus, the current project aims to conduct a naturalistic evaluation to assess the capability of the wearable sensor system to accurately monitor stress, resilience, and end-user comfort. The current evaluation has conducted surveys and focus groups to gather quantitative and qualitative (mixed-methods) feedback about the wearable sensor technology and subjective reports of stress and resilience. Behavioral health algorithms are being developed that would help assess needs of soldiers and potentially assist in all roles of care. The proposed presentation would discuss the specific results of our evaluation along with how wearable devices can be implemented into operational and garrison use.
