The Combat-Wireless Health Monitoring System

Abstract

The proposed combat-wireless health monitoring system (C-WHMS) allows for the seamless monitoring of a unit's medical health during combat operations, facilitating rapid injury identification and treatment. The C-WHMS quickly identifies soldiers who may have sustained traumatic injuries and whose lives may be saved by attending to them during the so-called "golden hour," as well as provides historical data to improve re-deployment and post-deployment health assessments.
