On February 1, 2022, at the La Grande Motte Rescue Center, SDIS 34 organised a medical and physical aptitude test for the new arrivals to the team and this led to a presentation of the Equivital mobile monitoring solution.
The measurement of the participants’ vital parameters could thus be visualised in real time and analysed retrospectively.
Monitoring elements
Vital parameters, the heat stress index, its 15-minute forecast, mobility, possible falls, geolocation with tracking, and geofencing functions, are the main monitoring elements that make it possible to preserve the health of firefighters in the recruitment phase, training, and intervention.
Maguelone Fontanieu and Isabelle Craponne of the company A PROPOS, which designed the MEDIsap, URGsap, and PHARMsap software packages already widely used by SDIS, joined for the discovery of Equivital technology as part of this presentation in real situations.
