WEBVTT 00:01.120 --> 00:04.489 An HR C crew program . Crew stands for 00:04.639 --> 00:07.019 crew readiness , endurance and watch 00:07.030 --> 00:08.863 standing . It's a joint research 00:08.863 --> 00:10.949 program with commander Naval Surface 00:10.960 --> 00:13.850 Forces and really is about improving 00:13.859 --> 00:15.819 the watch , standing ability and 00:15.829 --> 00:18.250 readiness of the crew , giving more 00:18.260 --> 00:20.770 power and information to the leadership . 00:20.799 --> 00:23.840 The crew program utilizes wearable 00:23.850 --> 00:26.829 biometric devices to understand how the 00:26.924 --> 00:28.924 human is performing . Have they had 00:28.924 --> 00:30.924 enough sleep ? What's their fatigue 00:30.924 --> 00:33.091 level and other physiologic parameters 00:33.091 --> 00:35.035 to make sure that they're at their 00:35.035 --> 00:37.974 optimal ability to perform their duties ? 00:37.985 --> 00:40.096 Ok ? Some days we can't get sleep and 00:40.096 --> 00:42.263 you can't use that as an excuse to not 00:42.263 --> 00:43.985 to get the mission done . Last 00:43.985 --> 00:46.152 appointment , we were doing like three 00:46.152 --> 00:48.207 on , three off , three on , then the 00:48.207 --> 00:50.429 rest off . Not a lot of people here ask 00:50.429 --> 00:54.180 us how um well rested we are . Um But 00:54.189 --> 00:56.430 once I used that watch and I looked at 00:56.439 --> 00:58.659 the app , um it made me realize how 00:58.669 --> 01:01.000 much stress I'm getting at first . It 01:01.009 --> 01:03.065 wasn't looking that good . But using 01:03.065 --> 01:04.953 the app , I could adjust my sleep 01:04.953 --> 01:07.180 schedule and manage my time proper to 01:07.190 --> 01:09.246 get some proper rest . It was a very 01:09.246 --> 01:11.620 high up tempo . Sometimes we had to be 01:11.629 --> 01:14.430 awake for 20 hours . It was getting 01:14.440 --> 01:16.849 hard trying to find some sleep . And 01:16.860 --> 01:18.860 sometimes in the middle of sleeping 01:18.860 --> 01:20.916 people wake you up because they need 01:20.916 --> 01:23.249 you for something you have to sacrifice , 01:23.249 --> 01:25.360 laying off a little work . That isn't 01:25.360 --> 01:25.250 really our priority and get some rest 01:25.260 --> 01:27.482 because I'm not getting enough rest and 01:27.482 --> 01:29.400 put your life . Even some , 01:31.065 --> 01:33.614 traditionally , the skipper of a ship 01:33.675 --> 01:36.525 would have a lot of information on his 01:36.535 --> 01:38.775 weapon systems , on his propulsion 01:38.785 --> 01:40.841 systems , but not necessarily on the 01:40.841 --> 01:43.063 human systems , the human that's in the 01:43.063 --> 01:45.007 ship . And this is really the next 01:45.007 --> 01:47.174 generation of understanding the health 01:47.174 --> 01:50.455 and readiness of the crew in real time 01:50.464 --> 01:52.544 or near real time so that the 01:52.555 --> 01:54.724 leadership can make truly informed 01:54.735 --> 01:56.915 decisions and not only improve 01:56.925 --> 01:59.540 readiness but safety of the crew . We 01:59.550 --> 02:01.980 hope that the entire capability would 02:01.989 --> 02:05.190 be able to be used to effectively 02:05.199 --> 02:08.429 inform various echelons of decision 02:08.440 --> 02:11.020 making such as informing commanding 02:11.029 --> 02:13.639 officers of the current crew endurance 02:13.649 --> 02:16.199 and fatigue status of their personnel 02:16.220 --> 02:19.050 as well as potentially medical officers 02:19.059 --> 02:21.615 assessing the current uh sleep patterns 02:21.625 --> 02:23.625 of the crew . And then lastly , the 02:23.625 --> 02:26.044 individual sailor level as well , 02:26.054 --> 02:28.195 getting actionable feedback that that 02:28.205 --> 02:30.554 individual sailor could use to either 02:30.565 --> 02:32.621 benefit their sleep where we like to 02:32.621 --> 02:34.945 see this capability go in the future 02:35.490 --> 02:37.919 right now under our research program , 02:37.929 --> 02:39.960 this is a prototype . And so we're 02:39.970 --> 02:42.259 looking to advance this prototype to 02:42.270 --> 02:45.539 become a new capability for the fleet . 02:45.750 --> 02:47.750 The work here that the crew team is 02:47.750 --> 02:50.990 doing under Dr Mod's leadership is 02:51.000 --> 02:53.539 going to have a huge impact on the 02:53.550 --> 02:55.000 operational forces .
