SwArmwear was made up in The Internet of Things Heckaton – duration: one day (and we won!)

SwArmwear monitors personal data such as heartrate, pulse and body temperature. In case of a medical emergency, our wearable sends out a signal to emergency services and nearby nodes in the proximity.
In case of a larger disaster, such as a terrorist attack, nearby nodes can employ environmental data by detecting a sudden disruption to the swarm itself.
Emergency services can monitor these signals and when in the vicinity activate a pathfinder protocol (SoftWare Assisted Response Management) to quickly find where exactly they need to be, in even the largest of crowds.

Made in collaboration with Mart Smallegange, Rob Kaper, Wessel Meijer.
