What wearable technology did the Air Force recently test?

Answer: the BioStampRC

In a recent field test, the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) equipped about 200 military and civilian personnel with technology to simulate use in a war zone. The BioStampRC Wearable Sensing Platform, which was used during the tests as part of a Tech Warrior event, is a patch that when attached, provided researchers with performance metrics and medical information about those being tested.

"It's been a great opportunity to have our scientists and engineers and some of the junior people of AFRL come out and get some real-world operational experience and take those experiences back and make sure the technologies that we're developing better fit the needs of our warfighters," Maj. Jared Ekholm, Warrior Squadron commander, said.
