Equivital Launches eq LifeBand: The Ultimate Heat Injury Protection Armband

Equivital, a global leader in wearable physiological monitoring solutions, has today launched the eq LifeBand – a cutting-edge heat injury protection armband designed to safeguard industrial workers from the growing risks of heat strain and stress.

 Developed and manufactured in both the USA and UK, the eq LifeBand represents a huge leap forward in heat protection technology, offering an affordable, lightweight, and highly accurate device made to meet the demands of high-risk applications.

As global temperatures continue to rise, industries face increasing challenges in protecting workers from heat-related injuries. Despite advancements in personal protective equipment (PPE), heat stress remains a persistent danger, particularly in sectors such as construction, manufacturing, and oil and gas.

The eq LifeBand combines state-of-the-art heat monitoring technology with innovative features to ensure worker safety and compliance with industry standards. By tracking the wearers’ core body temperature in real time, it plays an active role in prioritising health and wellbeing.

When thresholds for heat stress or exertion are approached, the device delivers realtime alerts and notifications, allowing for timely interventions to prevent injuries. Equipped with hydration prompts, the device encourages workers to maintain optimal fluid intake, while its integrated WBGT (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature) monitoring generates automated, tailored work-rest plans for teams in high-risk areas.

The eq LifeBand’s seamless data integration with Equivital’s Black Ghost V2 platform ensures robust data collection, analysis, and reporting – so that organisations can make informed decisions and implement proactive safety measures.

Anmol Sood, CEO of Equivital, said, “At Equivital, we know there is an urgent need for reliable, accessible solutions to combat the escalating threat of heat stress in the workplace. The eq LifeBand is a culmination of extensive research and collaboration with heat stress experts, for the highest standards of accuracy and usability.

“By providing real-time alerts, hydration prompts, and personalised thresholds, we aim to transform workplace safety and help organisations protect their workers.”

The eq LifeBand is fully compliant with ACGIH (American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists) heat stress guidelines and supports multiple heat stress algorithms, for quick and easy inclusion in customised heat protection programmes.

With on-device, configurable local alerts and personalisation options, the eq LifeBand will change the lives of industrial workers with an unmatched level of protection against any kind of heat injury.
