ABSTRACT
War-fighter Physiologic Status Monitoring(WPSM)is a wireless sensor network that is used to collect,transmit,store and interpret physiologic data from soldiers,sailors and pilots.It can collect and monitor information regarding vital signs such as body temperature,heart rate,blood pressure,hydration and stress levels,sleep status,body position and workload capacity of the warrior.If necessary,the WPSM can notify medics and commanders if the soldier has been wounded or has become fatigued.The structure of the wireless sensor network in the WPSM and the data management of the sensor network are mainly discussed.
ABSTRACT
Warfighter physiological status monitor (WPSM) is a new device for noninvasive biomedical measurements for soldier vital signs in operational environments. This paper gives an introduction to the WPSM and analyses the key technologies to design WPSM. The wearable technology can provide a systematic way of monitoring the vital signs of humans in a unobstrusive manner. In this paper the wearable technology is used to design WPSM to fulfill non-instrusive vital signs detection.
