Abstract
A wearable blast sensor for simultaneously measuring blast pressure from multiple directions includes multiple pressure sensing transducers oriented in individual planes for simultaneously measuring blast pressure of a blast from multiple directions, at least one blast parameter sensing transducer to measure a blast parameter, a memory for storing blast pressure data and measured blast parameter data, a controller coupled to and responsive to the multiple pressure sensing transducers and to the blast parameter sensing transducer to capture and store measured blast pressure data and measured blast parameter data, at least one indicator to indicate blast exposure severity as a function of amplitude of measured blast pressure data and measured acceleration amplitude, the multi-directional pressure sensor device, the blast parameter sensing transducer, the memory, the controller, and the indicator light and/or display sealed within in a housing, and at least one attachment device coupled to the housing for mounting.
