ACQUISITION AT SPEED
solution that allows governance of these types of data collection apps without mandating one in particular, which creates flexibility for the divisions and brigades to have a choice in athlete-management system platforms while still keeping the data collected on the individual persistent between units and visible at the Head- quarters, Department of the Army level,” Rinaldi explained.
H2FMS recognizes that finding the right solutions is key, but so is enabling their rapid implementation, which is why the program syncs its efforts closely with other Army holistic health and fitness initiatives.
HEALTHY FUTURE
Command Sgt. Maj. LaQuaine Bess of Army Futures Command participates in the command’s Murph Challenge at Camp Mabry in May. To prepare Soldiers for the future, the Army is addressing a wide range of wellness needs.
spectrum of wellness needs, from physi- cal and mental health to sleep, nutrition and spiritual wellness. Some of these needs might be best supported through in-person outreach or personalized surveys, whereas others could benefit from consistent, objec- tive and tech-enabled health monitoring.
Wearable sensor devices, which collect and relay human performance data to athlete-management system platforms and individual users, thereby driving health decisions, are promising because they provide concrete data, offer interac- tive capabilities and are already familiar to many Soldiers. Fitbit products fall within this broad category, for example, as does the Health app that comes pre-installed on iPhones.
Rinaldi said that wearable sensor devices have been employed with “varying degrees of success” in U.S. Special Operations
Command but are not broadly used across the Army. Trough H2FMS, the Army aims to pinpoint and tailor a solution, or multiple solutions, that could eventually be rolled out to all of its equipped brigades within U.S. Army Forces Command and U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command.
The version of athlete-management system technology that the Army is look- ing to incorporate would meet the needs of multiple types of Soldiers in multiple wellness areas. Accordingly, the three plat- forms currently undergoing assessment via the H2FMS pilot are being tested by groups of infantry, military intelligence, medical battalion and reserve Soldiers.
H2FMS also wants to improve data
sharing and preservation across vari- ous systems. Te program is working to foster creation of an “agnostic data storage
“Seeing what's possible is great, but being able to deliver a product that can get implemented in less than two years is critical if we deal in terms of software and data,” Rinaldi said. “We are moving appropriately fast and with significant synchronization between science and technology, operational units and transition partners to get this in the hands of warfighters at the speed of relevance.”
Rinaldi underscored that “outcomes from this project not only provide solu- tions to our warfighter now, they inform our science and technology efforts such as OHWS and MASTR-E,” the Measuring and Advancing Soldier Tactical Readiness and Effectiveness program, “on potential advances in [athlete-management system] solutions.” Te program aims to measure and predict Soldier combat performance more precisely.
Te Applications Lab collaborates regu- larly and closely with the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Soldier Center and other Army and joint force stakehold- ers to ensure human performance needs of the warfighter are assessed rigorously and holistically.
