The Physiologic Cipher At Altitude : Telemedicine And Real-time Monitoring Of Climbers On Mount Everest . Advanced wearable biosensors for vital-signs monitoring (physiologic cipher) are available to improve quality of healthcare in hospital , nursing home , and remote environment (pickup location) s . The objective of this study was to determine reliability of vital-signs monitoring systems in extreme environments . Three climbers were monitored 24 hours while climbing through Khumbu Icefall . Data were transmitted to Everest Base Camp (elevation 17 , 800 feet) and retransmitted to Yale University via telemedicine . Main outcome measures (location , heart rate , skin temperature , core body temperature , and activity level) all correlated through time-stamped identification . Two of three location devices functioned 100% of the time , and one device failed after initial acquisition of location 75% of the time . Vital-signs monitors functioned from 95%-100% of the time , with the exception of one climber whose heart-rate monitor functioned 78% of the time . Due to architecture of automatic polling and data acquisition of biosensors , no climber was ever without a full set of data for more than 25 minutes . Climbers were monitored continuously in real-time from Mount Everest to Yale University for more than 45 minutes . Heart rate varied from 76 to 164 beats per minute , skin temperature varied from 5 to 10 degreesC , and core body temperature varied only 1-3 degreesC . No direct correlation was observed among heart rate , activity level , and body temperature , though numerous periods suggested intense and arduous activity . Field testing in the extreme environment of Mount Everest demonstrated an ability to track in real time both vital signs (respective one) and position of climbers . However , these systems must be more reliable and robust . As technology transitions to commercial products , benefits of remote monitoring will become available for routine healthcare purposes . |
