Occupational & Workforce Research
How Do Tasks and Working Conditions Shape Physiological Demands?
Study people during their workday. Connect wearable recordings with tasks, schedules, and working conditions to investigate physical demands and inform the next research question.
Investigating Fatigue Behind the Wheel
Griffith University · Bingo Industries · Toll Group
The fatigue research trial was designed to record drivers with Hexoskin during work and rest. The team planned to combine wearable recordings, short surveys, and vehicle-monitoring data across five working days per participant.

How Can Wearable Recordings Support Research in Operational Settings?
Investigate physiological demands during field exercises and operational tasks. Start with the research setting, then define the recordings and workflow your protocol requires.
Recording During a Military Field Exercise
Canadian Armed Forces reserve medical unit
A field study evaluated Hexoskin during a military training exercise, with 30 hours of continuous recording reported for one wearer. It explored garment use during practical tasks, rather than a large-cohort performance intervention.

What Can Physiology Reveal About Flight and Space Environments?
Explore how researchers study people in cockpit simulations and spaceflight. Match the platform and recording configuration to the environment, activities, and questions in your protocol.
Comparing Cockpit Ventilation Conditions
Shen and colleagues · AUS 2024
Researchers used Hexoskin to collect recordings for heart rate variability analysis under three cockpit ventilation conditions. Their comparison examined how the different ventilation schemes related to pilots’ physiological responses.

How Do People Respond During Demanding Tasks and Training?
Study physiological responses during realistic scenarios and working shifts. See how research teams connect wearable recordings with task performance, simulation, and occupational demands.
Examining Stress During Police Scenarios
Provicta · James and colleagues
Provicta and its collaborators used Hexoskin during simulated police scenarios. They investigated relationships between physiological stress responses and task performance, and explored an intervention intended to help officers manage those responses.

MacQuarrie and colleagues · NSW Ambulance
Researchers monitored 32 paramedics across 232 shifts, recording responses around emergency calls. The study examined the demands of the job and how individual characteristics related to physiological responses during work.
Read the ResearchAdding Physiology to Simulation Research
Griffith healthcare-simulation researchers
The team described using both platforms during healthcare simulation, followed by review and analysis of the recordings. Their report illustrates a research workflow; it does not establish that wearing a device improves training outcomes.
