Soldier’s Position Tracking & Health Monitoring Optimization Model Using Biosensors

The largest withstanding army in India is the military force. The soldiers in the army have the most significant responsibility to safeguard the life of the people besides monitoring their health. Health monitoring is challenging in varying climatic factors under difficult situations. It is essential to monitor their blood pressure, heartbeat, and Oxygen (O2) level. This research develops a new system to monitor the soldier’s health using the internet of technology (IoT) and also tracks the location of the soldiers for proceeding with the other process immediately according to the situation. The proposed system consists of two basic units – the wearable device and the control unit. The soldier holds the wearable device, which is implemented with a temperature sensor, O2 level indicator, and heartbeat sensor. This unit manages and observes the soldier’s wellness embedded with the global positioning system (GPS) technology to track the location of the soldiers, which aids in the transmission of data to another unit in the control room. This research utilizes different sensors like a temperature sensor to recognize temperature, a sound sensor to distinguish sound created, a PIR sensor to identify individuals, a heartbeat sensor to recognize heartbeat, and an Oxygen sensor to distinguish oxygen level. The multi-layer inference system conserves the device’s battery power with 98.5% data reduction compared to other well-known methods. GSM technique is additionally utilized for sending messages to higher authorities.
