1. A system comprising:
- a head mounted device mountable to a head of a pilot;
at least one vital signs sensor couplable to a body part of said pilot and configured to repeatedly obtain in real time, vital signs data associated with said pilot;
at least one accelerometer embedded within said head mounted device and configured to repeatedly obtain in real time head-related data associated with position and orientation of the head of said pilot; and
a computer processor configured to;
simultaneously receive the vital signs data, the head-related data and real-time platform data indicative of the platform controlled by said pilot as an input to a decision function, said platform data including linear and/or angular velocities of the platform and derivatives thereof;
check the head-related data against the platform data; and
generate as an output of the decision function, a prediction of pilot incompetence, before the pilot incompetence has occurred, based on said input and predefined criteria.

Abstract
A system for monitoring a pilot'"'"'s health is provided herein. The system may include: a head mounted device mountable to a head of a pilot; at least one vital signs sensor couplable to a body portion of said pilot and configured to obtain vital signs data associated with said pilot; at least one head sensor configured to obtain head-related data associated with the head of said pilot; and a computer processor configured to receive the vital signs data and the head-related data as an input and generate as an output, an indication of pilot incompetence, based on predefined criteria.

12. A method comprising:
-
obtaining repeatedly and in real time, vital signs data associated with a pilot; obtaining from an accelerometer embedded within a head mounted device repeatedly and in real time, head-related data associated with position and orientation of the head of said pilot; receiving simultaneously the vital signs data, the head-related data and real-time platform data indicative of the platform controlled by said pilot as an input to a decision function, said platform data including linear and/or angular velocities of the platform and derivatives thereof; checking the head-related data against the platform data; and generating as an output by the decision function, a prediction of pilot incompetence before the pilot incompetence has occurred, based on said input and predefined criteria. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
