Sentinel

Sentinel Occupational Safety provides an intelligent guardian technology called SafeGuard, which utilizes wearable sensors for real-time health and safety monitoring of individuals in high-risk environments. The system gathers biometric and environmental data to determine if a person is in danger, allowing for swift evacuation or rescue responses.

The company was founded by Zachary Kiehl, who holds bachelor's and master's degrees in biomedical engineering from Wright State University. His ambition to help people live longer, more fulfilling lives led to the development of SafeGuard through a government program at Aptima, a co-founder of Sentinel. In May 2022, Kiehl received the Soin Award for Innovation from the Dayton Chamber of Commerce for the SafeGuard technology.

Sentinel's technology is designed to optimize health and safety while reducing preventable injuries and fatalities. It can identify issues that a human monitor might miss, which is particularly crucial in situations like confined-space work, where 60% of fatalities occur when colleagues attempt rescues. The company targets populations often overlooked by technological advances, such as blue-collar workers and those with complex health issues, aiming to provide cost-effective sensing solutions.
