DANA Health System is DAN Europe’s innovative tool that aims to improve the way divers manage their health and well-being. With DANA Health you can proactively monitor your health and access expert advice to ensure you stay safe and healthy both in and out of the water.
What makes it unique?
Unlike traditional dive computers, DANA Health is a connected ecosystem that integrates wearable devices, underwater loggers, surface buoys, and a cloud platform. It continuously monitors a diver’s vital signs (oxygen saturation, heart rate, skin temperature, posture) and environmental conditions in real time, providing predictive analysis of decompression risk through advanced AI algorithms. This transforms diving safety from reactive to proactive prevention, enabling real-time decision-making and even telemedicine support during dives.
Key Features
- Wearable Sensor – Monitors vital signs (SaO₂, HR, temperature, trim) during the dive.
- Dive Sense & Data Logger – Records dive profiles, physiological data, and provides real-time feedback.
- Surface Buoy Gateway – Equipped with acoustic modem, GPS, and satellite/cellular connection to transmit live data to the cloud.
- Cloud Portal & Mobile App – An advanced electronic logbook with unique decompression-risk algorithms, 3D maps, and personalised dive analysis.
- Bidirectional Communication – Real-time exchange of alerts, parameters, and messages between diver, instructor, and rescue teams.
Who is it for?
- Recreational Divers – Gain real-time feedback and personalised safety recommendations during dives.
- Dive Instructors & Centres – Access live dashboards of student divers, reducing liability and improving training safety.
- Offshore Operators – Ensure proactive safety monitoring for divers working in oil, gas, wind farms, or infrastructure projects.
- Rescue Services – Receive precise geolocation and biometric data to optimise interventions and reduce rescue time.
- Research Institution, Universities & MPAs – Ensure proactive safety monitoring for divers working in scientific diving operation.
Why it matters
DANA Health addresses one of the biggest gaps in diving: the lack of real-time physiological monitoring and rescue connectivity. By providing continuous biometric data, predictive decompression models, and immediate communication, it reduces diving accidents, enhances emergency response, and improves training outcomes. Beyond diving, it also contributes to marine safety research, sustainable blue economy practices, and medical innovation.
Availability
DANA Health is currently in the advanced development stage (TRL 6–8), with prototypes already tested in real dives. The cloud portal is live (DANA Health) and used by divers (DAN Europe members) as an advanced digital logbook. The system will soon be available to the diving community through DAN Europe, with commercial rollout planned once CE certification is completed.
