First responders wear and carry a number of devices for various functions. The tools worn allow for first responders to assess and complete many problems they face while on the job. Wearable technology is one of the many new and improved tools being added to their tool belt. Wearable tech can increase efficiency by connecting first responders to each other and/or to other parties. This communication is real-time and transmitted through a secure network to save lives. In this article WT | Wearable Technologies would love to show you wearable devices for first responders.

Mutualink
Mutualink develops a Wearable Smart Gateway that enables first responders to share multimedia information with command posts and other agencies in real-time over secure wide area network. The Wearable Smart Gateway (WSG) is powered by the tiny and ultra-low power Intel Edison chip. The WSG devices include body cameras, heart rate monitors, locator beacons and other handheld sensors – it instantly transmits this data to relevant parties. This capability improves situational awareness and provides unprecedented interoperability to first responders.
Pebble
What if the same devices that can track your activity or sleep can help first responders in dangerous situation? A good idea? CommandWear, a wearable technology and public safety solutions company, has created an app for Pebble Smartwatch with the purpose to help first responders’ job much easier.
