Personnel monitoring and feedback system and method
First Claim
1. A method of providing feedback to personnel performing a given procedure, the method comprising:
- identifying equipment that an individual is required to have for performing a procedure by configuring a sensor with the equipment, the sensor containing information to identify each respective piece of equipment it is configured with, providing at least one sensor carried by an individual, the sensor configured to detect a hazardous change;
providing at least one sensor configured to detect at least one characteristic of an individual'"'"'s physiological condition, the sensor positioned adjacent the individual during a procedure;
providing a scanner to an individual to permit communication with sensors, the scanner configured to send and receive signals from the sensors, scanning the sensors and communicating information from the sensors to an individual when a change in any sensor is detected; and
communicating countermeasures available to an individual to counteract the change.

Abstract
A method and system of providing feedback to personnel performing a given procedure is provided. The system and methodology comprises at least one sensor carried by each piece of required equipment. The sensor is configured to contain information to identify the piece of equipment in which it is configured. In addition, at least one sensor is carried by an individual or positioned in an individual'"'"'s environment. The sensor is configured to detect a hazardous change. Further, at least one other sensor is configured to detect at least one characteristic of an individual'"'"'s physiological condition. The sensor is positioned adjacent an individual during a procedure. The individual desirably carries a scanner to permit communication with sensors. The scanner is configured to send and receive signals from the sensors. The scanner is also configured to communicate information from the sensors to an individual when a change is detected, and to communicate countermeasures available to an individual to counteract any change.
