In today’s Podcast, Subject Matter Expert Zach Kiehl will discuss a new concept that his Company, Sentinel Occupational Safety, has developed, and is now offering to private sector businesses across the Country. Their product is called SafeGuard™. SafeGuard is an IoT platform that provides an early warning capability through real-time, predictive, and longitudinal oversight of personnel in high-risk environments. It relies on the recent proliferation of wearable sensors, wireless communication, and domains like contextual AI, to make health & safety personalized and proactive. The idea was extensively tested by Sentinel through various US Military Applications. Specifically, the Military had a special need for a better-connected health & safety system for monitoring maintenance technicians working in confined spaces. SafeGuard evolved from a confined space monitoring system to an intelligent guardian for humans in difficult environments. SafeGuard is distributed and marketed through Sentinel’s “Safety as a Service™” and is available for piloting a commercial purchase.

Zach Kiehl’s technical background is in Biomedical Engineering and technical program management. He has worked on and led many cutting-edge R&D projects for the Federal DOD – all of them focused on improving the health, safety, training, and performance of humans in difficult operational environments. Zach is passionate about building and using innovative technologies to keep people healthy, safe, and productive, which is why he and Aptima founded Sentinel in 2020. Zach is from Piqua, OH, and received a Bachelors and Masters in Science in Biomedical Engineering from Wright State University. He also recently completed and MBA from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University. Zach is also a certified Project Management Professional.

This Podcast is another offering in our efforts to introduce the EHS marketplace to new products, new applications, new approaches, and new philosophies, to help keep people safe in any endeavor.
