Which data types are used in H2F surveillance?

• A. Biometric data only
• B. Biometric data, survey data, and inspection data
• C. Survey data only
• D. Inspection data only

Answer: (B)

In H2F surveillance, you gather and combine different kinds of data to get a complete picture of readiness and risk. Biometric data provides objective physiological measures—things like heart rate, blood pressure, VO2 max, body composition, sleep duration, and other daily health indicators. Survey data captures the team’s subjective experiences and behaviors, such as sleep quality, fatigue, perceived readiness, mood, nutrition habits, and self-reported injuries or pain. Inspection data covers the environment and program quality—equipment condition, training area safety, protocol compliance, and adherence to nutrition or recovery plans. Together, these three data types give a holistic view of how well soldiers are functioning and where to intervene. Relying on only one type would miss important aspects: biometric data alone overlooks how soldiers feel and behave; survey data alone misses hard physiological changes; inspection data alone misses personal health status. Hence, the surveillance approach uses biometric data, survey data, and inspection data.
