1. Introduction
This document contains information required to operate the Zephyr™ PSM Training system incorporating
OmniSense Application software, using Zephyr components which support the ECHO radio network type.
1.1 System Description
The PSM Training System is a remote physiological monitoring system that utilizes Zephyr’s patented
BioHarness™ product. The BioHarness™ allows the measurement of:
Heart Rate
Breathing Rate
Activity level
Subject orientation (posture)
Estimated Core Temperature
A variety of physiological parameters using automated fitness tests –details are in the
OmniSense Analysis Help file
Data from the BioHarness™ is used to generate a color-coded Subject Status indication (ROG):
Green
Orange
Red
Data is relayed over a radio network. This configuration will support a maximum of 50 subjects.
Individual subject data is updated every 2.5 seconds.
Specific BioHarness 3.0 hardware is required for a PSM Training system. This hardware is dual
Bluetooth/ECHO.
The ECHO system does not support Bluetooth-only BioHarness modules.
