ANALYSIS OF PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS DURING SOLDIER’S COMBAT TRAINING

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a system used for monitoring physiological parameters of soldiers during combat training and analyzing the data for detecting the stress level. The proposed system includes two essential components: Soldier’s Health Monitoring Device-SHMD and Combat Medical Support Station (CMSS). The SHMD recording some vital signs like as: electrocardiogram (ECG), heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), plethysmografic waveform (PW), blood oxygenation (SpO2) and body temperature (T). The sensors for biosignals are fixed on a T-shirt that is wear by the soldier under military equipment, in contact with the skin. The CMSS receives all data through various communication channels (Internet, GSM, GPRS, WiFi, Bluetooth etc). This information from the soldier is processed and entered into a database. Also, the module includes a distribution platform based on a network protocol that facilitates the access of this data by the military doctor and also has an alarm function. A medical expert can analyze the data recorded for a specific subject and detect the level of stress during each training session. We analyzed the heart rate variability (HRV), extract from ECG signal and from plethysmografic waveform, during physical exercises and compare these results.
