News : Start of RUBI Glass test phase

Raum in der DIU mit Absperrung vor der Studien.
The first trial day of the RUBI Glass study was held by GWT on September 9th.

After an intro­duc­tory talk and various tests, seve­ral study par­ti­ci­pants went through a simu­la­ted res­cue situa­tion in which initial data was coll­ec­ted on the first floor of the DIU in camera.
The study, under the sci­en­ti­fic direc­tion of Prof. Dr. med. Tjalf Ziems­sen, is inves­ti­ga­ting the use of RUBI Glass gog­gles as a pos­si­ble pro­tec­tive mea­sure for fire­figh­ters. The aim here is to reduce psy­cho­lo­gi­cal stress after extreme deploy­ments and mini­mize the risk of post-trau­ma­tic stress dis­or­der in the long term.
The pro­cess went smoothly and the initial data is now being eva­lua­ted. A fur­ther test phase is alre­ady being plan­ned. GWT is proud to fully sup­port this ground­brea­king study.
