Crew Metrics

Crew Metrics provides smartwatch-sourced sleep and exercise data to EMS/ Fire management via an online dashboard, facilitating fatigue management and exercise plans.

Crew Metrics was started by two paramedics who met in Western Carolina University's Emergency Medical Care program. Originally starting as an idea for a master's thesis, the idea for Crew Metrics came in 2017 after a record year of fatal ambulance crashes. The two co-founders attended several conferences during which EMS and Fire chiefs expressed frustration regarding the difficulty in creating a fatigue management plan due to the inability to measure sleep outside of work. This sparked an obsession that has fueled the co-founders ever since. We've reached out to every department in the region and have had an overwhelmingly positive response. We've built a working prototype, but we had to halt progress due to lack of funding. We've since formally incorporated and formed a new partnership, bringing on
