Abstract: The Soldier Health Monitoring System (SHMS) is a comprehensive solution designed to ensure the well-being of military personnel by continuously monitoring vital health parameters. This system incorporates a range of sensors, including a Heartbeat sensor, Temperature Sensor, Vibration Sensor, and GPS, interfaced with an Arduino microcontroller and Nodemcu for real-time data acquisition and analysis. The system provides valuable insights into a soldier's health status, allowing for timely intervention in case of anomalies. The core components of the system include a Heartbeat sensor for monitoring pulse rate, a Temperature Sensor for body temperature measurement, and a Vibration Sensor to detect external impacts or abnormal movements. These sensors are connected to an Arduino microcontroller, which processes the data and displays it on an LCD screen. Additionally, a GPS module is integrated to track the soldier's location, enhancing situational awareness. The Soldier Health Monitoring System features a relay and a Peltier device to regulate body temperature. In extreme environmental conditions, the Peltier device can be activated to either cool or heat the soldier's body, ensuring optimal physiological conditions. The relay also enables the triggering of alerts or alarms in emergency situations. To enhance communication and situational awareness, the system utilizes a Nodemcu module for wireless connectivity. In the event of abnormal health parameters or critical situations, the Soldier Health Monitoring System is programmed to send instant notifications to designated recipients through various communication channels, such as SMS or email. The combination of real-time health monitoring, environmental adaptation, and intelligent alert mechanisms makes the Soldier Health Monitoring System an effective tool for safeguarding the well-being of military personnel. This technology not only ensures prompt medical attention in emergencies but also facilitates proactive measures to optimize soldier performance and mission success.
