Integrating Wearables into Simulator Training for Human Cognitive and Stress Assessment

Bey, LtCol David

Executive Summary

The cognitive load on our warfighters has increased significantly. With not just more complex environments to handle, our warfighters have more systems, more screens to look at, more information to integrate before a decision can be made. Artificial Intelligence is also not a panacea. If not implemented well, AI can actually further increase the cognitive load of our people. How do we train the brains of our people better, how do we assess their cognitive growth objectively, and leave it less to chance and subjectivity? How do we help them on work and off work, manage their sleep and stress like a high performance athlete? In my presentation I will talk about how the Republic of Singapore Air Force is tackling this issue using commercial off the shelf wearables and other modern techniques so that we can screen more accurately, tailor training to individuals, and help them to maximise their own potential. Our market surveys show few vendors offer integrated solutions that match simulators with human performance measures, and hence the need for co-developed solutions.
