Smart Soldier Health Monitoring System Incorporating Embedded Electronics

A smart soldier health monitoring system using embedded electronics and wireless communications is presented to keep real-time track of conditions of all the soldiers on the battlefield. A wireless body area network (WBAN) is created by treating each soldier as a node and each node consists of different sensors monitoring the condition of that particular soldier which could be integrated inside a uniform or a bulletproof jacket. The attributes tracked by the system are motion and physiological health of the soldier and the environment. After gaining the knowledge of these attributes, the control room can take decisions accordingly and create an effective battle strategy.
