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 and the head-related data as an input to a decision function; 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,wherein the at least one vital signs sensor comprises at least one Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) sensor and at least one reflective photoplethysmograph (PPG) sensor.

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.

11. A method comprising:
-
repeatedly obtaining in real time, vital signs data associated with a pilot, via at least one vital signs sensor couplable to a body part of said pilot; repeatedly obtaining in real time, head-related data associated with position and orientation of a head of said pilot, via at least one accelerometer embedded within a head mounted device mountable to the head of said pilot; simultaneously receiving the vital signs data and the head-related data as an input to a decision function; and generating 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, wherein the at least one vital signs sensor comprises at least one Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) sensor and at least one reflective photoplethysmograph (PPG) sensor. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
