Wearable Vital Signs Monitor

Monitor vital signs in explosive and hazardous areas—without compromising safety. The Equivital EX eq02+ LifeMonitor is an intrinsically safe, chest-worn physiological monitoring system designed for real-time and logged capture of clinical-grade cardiorespiratory, temperature and activity data in extreme or hazardous environments.

Ideal for operations involving PPE and high-risk conditions—such as hazardous area industrial and oil & gas, first response, CBRNe, and military training and deployment—EX eq02+ helps teams make faster, more objective safety decisions using reliable, multi-parameter data.

Why teams choose the EX eq02+ LifeMonitor

• Intrinsically safe for hazardous areas: built for use where explosive atmospheres may be present, with hazardous-area approvals/markings including ATEX (EU), ETL (North America) and IECex (Australia & New Zealand).
• Multi-parameter monitoring in one wearable: ECG/heart rate, respiration, skin temperature, estimated core temperature, and tri-axis accelerometry for activity, body position and movement (including fall detection).
• High-quality data with low loss rates: engineered for robust capture and dependable field performance.
• Real-time or retrospective workflows: log to on-device memory and transmit wirelessly (Class 1 Bluetooth) for live viewing and analysis via supported platforms.
• Long wear comfort: lightweight, chest-worn belt design with multiple belt sizes and secure fit for operational movement.
• Battery built for long shifts: up to 48 hours operating life for standard logging use-cases, with hot-swap ancillary power packs for extended monitoring.

System overview

The EX eq02+ LifeMonitor comprises two primary elements: a Sensor Belt, and a Sensor Electronics Module (SEM) that docks into the belt cradle to process, store, and transmit data. Status LEDs provide on-body visibility of transmission, power, and external sensor connections.

Software and integration options

• Equivital Black Ghost: commonly used for military, first response and industrial health & safety applications requiring an ATEX-capable solution, including real-time oversight and after-action review workflows.
• Developer SDK options: enable integration of Equivital data into third-party applications (e.g., .NET, Android, Java), depending on your deployment requirements.

Frequently asked questions

How is the device worn?

It is worn securely against the chest on the EX sensor belt. The belt design supports freedom of movement and is intended to remain stable during operational activity.

Can I view data in real time?

Yes. Data can be transmitted in real time from the SEM via Class 1 Bluetooth to a mobile phone or computer for viewing and analysis (software dependent). Data is also stored on-device for retrospective download and analysis.

What is the difference between standard battery life and core temperature pill workflows?

Equivital lists up to 48 hours operating life for standard SEM logging use-cases, and up to 18 hours when the core temperature capsule (“pill”) receiver is on.

Is it suitable for heat stress monitoring?

Yes. The system captures the physiological signals used in heat stress/strain workflows, and Equivital’s ecosystem can provide Heat Strain Index (HSI) indicators and related metrics when configured with compatible software and algorithms.
