VITAL SIGNS MONITORING DURING COMBAT ACTIONS

This paper presents a wearable system for vital signs monitoring like as: electrocardiogram (ECG), heart rate, plethysmografic waveform (PW), blood oxygenation (SpO2) and body temperature (T). The system can be used for monitoring physiological parameters of soldiers during combat actions. The senso...

Summary:This paper presents a wearable system for vital signs monitoring like as: electrocardiogram (ECG), heart rate, plethysmografic waveform (PW), blood oxygenation (SpO2) and body temperature (T). The system can be used for monitoring physiological parameters of soldiers during combat actions. The sensors for biosignals are fixed on a T-shirt that is wear by the soldiers under military equipment, in contact with the skin. All signals acquired are stored and processed by a medical device (named soldier's health monitoring device-SHMD) that compares these data with soldier's baseline sets of vital signs. If SHMD detects a significant statistical deviation from baseline is automatically activate the data transmission module that send to the combat medic the physiological status of the soldier and his localization. The combat medic can send all medical data using a secure transmission to a Combat Medical Support Station (CMSS) where will be establish a prioritization of medical needs and will be take the best decision for soldier's health.
