Real-Time Physiological Monitoring and Automated Alert System for Enhanced Soldier Safety and Survivability

Abstract: This research introduces the "Wounded Soldier Auto-Alert System," a prototype designed to significantly increase the survival rates of military personnel in combat zones. In high-stakes environments, the delay between an injury and medical intervention is often the difference between life and death. Our system addresses this by integrating a pulse sensor to continuously monitor critical physiological parameters—specifically vital signs, specifically pulse and internal heat. Using a Wi-Fi-enabled communication hub, this streams the readings instantly to a central processing unit. The system's primary innovation is its ability to autonomously detect anomalies; if a soldier's vital signs indicate distress, the system immediately dispatches an alert to command, complete with the soldier's pre- registered location. This moves military health monitoring from passive data collection to a proactive, life-saving tool, streamlining emergency response coordination.
