"GuardianEye" Mining Safety Glasses

Abstract

GuardianEye: A rugged, intrinsically safe smart eyewear platform. It integrates a multimodal array of biomedical sensors (PPG, EEG, Temperature) and environmental sensors (CO, CH4, dB level) into a frame compatible with standard mining PPE. GuardianEye provides proactive, contextual risk monitoring for miners, transforming passive protection into an active, intelligent safety companion. The innovation is the Multimodal Sensor Fusion Engine optimized for harsh industrial environments. We are the first to miniaturize and fuse clinical-grade fatigue/alertness sensing (EEG/EOG) with critical toxic gas detection (CH4) in a single, robust, and ergonomically compliant safety glass. This provides predictive safety intelligence where competitors only offer isolated data points. Elimination of Preventable Mining Fatalities. Mining has unacceptable rates of accidents due to environmental hazards and worker fatigue. GuardianEye provides the only real-time system to detect the convergence of both risks-e.g., high CH4 and severe miner fatigue-enabling intervention. This significantly reduces health risks, improves operational continuity, and sets a new global standard for occupational safety.
