CONTINUOUS PHYSIOLOGICAL MONITORING IN EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS

Pushing the boundaries of wearable health analytics.

Leveraging hardware already on >500 million wrists worldwide.

A SUITE OF NOVEL ALGORITHMS, NOT ANOTHER DEVICE.

The metrics that matter aren't available  where the impact is amplified - outside of the lab

Continuous and non-invasive

No blood draws, urine tests or saliva swabs. Omni reads the signal straight from the wrist, around the clock.

Individual, not generic

Not a population average. Omni models each wearer's own physiology, so the insights reflect them against their own baseline.

Leading, not lagging

See strain build before it's felt, not confirmed after the fact - as one clear, colour-coded score the wearer and their team can act on in time.

The problem

Hydration is the missing vital sign.

It shapes cognition, reaction time and physical output every day - yet we routinely underestimate its impact. By the time thirst kicks in, you're already behind, and there's still no continuous way to measure it. The signal that matters most stays invisible until the damage is done.

Yet there is no conclusive way to measure it
CLINICAL STANDARD
Blood and urine analysis
01
Unavailable
Requires a clinic and a venous blood draw - not the field.
02
Inaccessible
Cost and turnaround put it out of reach for daily use.
03
Invasive
A needle and a lab - never continuous, never live.
INDUSTRY STANDARD
Urine tests and saliva swabs
01
Point-in-time
One reading at the gate says nothing about the next ten hours.
02
Lagging and inaccurate
It confirms strain after the fact, and often gets it wrong.
03
Invasive and ignored
Intrusive enough that workers routinely skip it.
THE THESIS

Decoding dehydration.

Fluid balance moves before performance does. Track it continuously and you can see strain build before it's felt - across sleep, cognitive load and physical output.

Omni's models are built and measured against clinical gold standards, prioritising both lab and real world evidence.

The technology

From an optical pulse to a personalised suite of actionable metrics.

Every Omni reading starts as light at the wrist - and ends as a clear, personalised metric.

OPTICAL PPG WAVEFORM · FILTERED SIGNAL continuous · non-invasive
systole
dicrotic notch
STEP 01
Optical capture

The watch's optical sensor shines light into the skin and reads what comes back. Every heartbeat changes that signal - captured continuously at the wrist.

optical · continuous
STEP 02
Read the live signal

From that signal we read how the heart and circulation are behaving, moment to moment.

live signals
STEP 03
Your physiological baseline

We compare it against your own baseline, learned over time - so the reading reflects you, not a population average.

personal baseline
STEP 04
Calibrated metrics

Our algorithms turn that comparison into clear metrics - hydration, heat strain and fatigue - updated continuously.

hydration · heat · fatigue
Applied to hydration
PPG · hydrated PPG · fluid deficit
01
Fluid leaves the system

Sweat and exertion can remove fluid faster than you replace it. As the deficit grows, plasma volume begins to fall.

02
Circulation responds

To compensate, your heart rate and vascular tone adjust, changing how blood moves through your circulation.

03
The signal shifts

These circulatory changes alter the optical (PPG) signal that wearables already capture, from Garmin smartwatches to clinical finger pulse oximeters.

04
A personalised hydration index

Compared against your own baseline, our algorithms turn these shifts into a live hydration score, a simple fluid target, and your trend over time.

Note: This is an intentional oversimplification of our technology. Book a meeting to learn more, we look forward to a more in-depth conversation.

Beachhead · Australian heavy industry

A full-stack safety platform, built for the heat.

Launching first in WA mining, Omni replaces ineffective legacy heat-stress tools with live hydration, heat-strain and fatigue monitoring - so worksites can act before an incident, not report on it after.

Disruptive in outcome, not implementation.

Higher
Productivity & uptime

Automate evidence-based work-rest cycling to cut risk exposure and optimise crew scheduling - less downtime, more output.

Fewer
Lost-time injuries

Track the leading indicators behind the most common heat, fatigue and dehydration incidents - and intervene before they become injuries.

Lower
Operating cost

No consumables, no probes, no manual testing rounds. Omni consolidates outdated heat, fatigue and hydration systems into one platform.

Stronger
Safety culture

Give supervisors and crews a shared, objective signal everyone can see and trust.
Educated and backed to proactively self-manage.

What the data is telling us

Continuous data surfaces risk the worksite couldn't see before.

Omni has run through a full summer of extreme heat on some of Australia's most demanding heavy-industry sites. These patterns aren't isolated, they surface across deployments, and they're already changing how crews manage hydration, heat and fatigue.

Heat risk is individual, not environmental

Ambient temperature has almost no correlation with an individual's heat stress. How hot it is tells you next to nothing about who is actually at risk - the danger is intrinsic to the worker, and weather-based controls miss it.

~70%
Dehydration is the hidden baseline

At any given moment, around seven in ten monitored workers carry some level of dehydration - and for many it begins before the shift starts. Mid-shift intervention alone can't correct a deficit that's already there at clock-on.

1.8×
<28°C vs >41°C
The danger hides on the cooler days

Dehydration needing intervention is far more common below 28 °C than above 41 °C. On hot days, vigilance rises naturally; on cool days those cues vanish - so the days with the lowest awareness carry the highest unmanaged need.

11×
inconsistent vs consistent
Risk is concentrated, and adoption closes it

A small number of workers carry most of the critical events - and inconsistent wearers spend roughly 11× more shift time at high heat risk than consistent ones. The workers who opt out aren't the low-risk ones; the data shows the opposite.

Measurable behaviour change
48%
fewer critical heat escalations as a deployment matures
59%
fewer critical hydration escalations over the same period
Earlier action, not harder rules.

Real-time signals let crews and supervisors act before strain crosses a critical threshold - instead of reacting once symptoms appear. Proactive behaviour change is enabled and quantified.

Figures aggregated across active worksite deployments. Individual customers, sites and workers are de-identified; we report only pooled patterns observed across our dataset.

Partnerships & licensing

The 'intel inside' model for health monitoring.

Our algorithms are designed to be hardware-agnostic. We license Omni's suite of digital biomarkers to the platforms millions already wear - so the world's leading smartwatch brands can ship novel insights on top of their existing sensor stack.
