IoT‐Based Health Monitoring and Tracking System for Soldiers

Abstract

In the present era, securing our nation soldiers' health is one of the primary duties of an army for securing our nation from enemy warfare. The nationwide protection is primarily dependent on the ground army, air-force, and navy. The soldiers play a significant role in securing our nation. Our country's defense department must be equipped with the requirement to secure our soldier's health. Hence, we propose an IoT-based system to monitor and track the soldier's health; mainly, it is required for army persons who take part in unusual mission activity. The soldier's health has been monitored by IoT-based system and located through GPS (Global Positioning Systems). This is feasible by using the temperature sensor, heartbeat sensor, and technologies involved in communication required for health related issues. Here, initially, soldier's body temperature is measured using LM35, and pulse rate using a heartbeat sensor and the values obtained are being compared with the threshold value kept on the basis of standard human body value; once the monitored value of the soldier exceeds that threshold value, automatically, control room will receive the information by specifying value obtained on the sensor. Depending on that value, the doctors being present in the control room will take immediate action based on the severity of the patient. The immediate medication will be started by tracking the soldier's location in the war field by attaching the smart sensors to the soldier's body. For complete mobility with a personal server, it has been implemented. It would, in turn, through wireless mode give a message to the server base station. Depending on unique IP address, soldiers have been identified at the earliest.
