==History==

In 2003, Zephyr was founded in [[New Zealand]] to help develop remote monitoring technologies to address the needs of coaches and athletes in their training. Zephyr's engineers learned early on that there were particular challenges that such systems faced - many of which were the same as those faced by [[first responders]] and [[military]] personnel.

Early and ongoing collaboration with fire departments, [[NASA Ames]] Research Center, National Guard Civil Support Teams, and multiple U.S. Special Forces units have allow Zephyr to develop its BioHarness and OmniSense software, which are capable of monitoring up to 50 test subjects at ranges of up to 1000ft1000 ft.

In 2010, Zephyr's BioHarness and OmniSense system were used to remotely monitor the health and medical status of miners trapped during the [[2010 Copiapó mining accident]] near [[Copiapó]], [[Chile]].

In 2011, [[Under Armour]] partnered with Zephyr to monitor athletes during the 2011 [[NFL Scouting Combine]].

More recently, Zephyr has partnered with organizations including [[Massachusetts General Hospital]], the [[National Institutes of Health]], [[Qualcomm]], [[Verizon Wireless]], and [[3M]] to develop and launch ZephyrLIFE - one of the first commercially available comprehensive remote patient monitoring systems for general care monitoring.
