To improve military personnel's overall health and operational efficiency, the Soldier's Health Monitoring and Position Tracking System integrates innovative technology in a comprehensive way. Military commanders are guaranteed complete situational awareness with this system's combination of real-time health monitoring and exact position tracking. Vital physiological indicators including heart rate, temperature, and blood oxygen levels are continuously collected and analysed as part of the health monitoring element. The measurements are sent wirelessly to a command centre, so any possible health problems may be identified quickly and responded to quickly. In order to keep meticulous records of each soldier's exact whereabouts in the field, the system simultaneously makes use of cutting-edge GPS and INS technology. The seamless integration of geo-spatial information with health data gives commanders a comprehensive picture of the troops' physical state and where they are. Military authorities may make educated judgements based on the collective health and positioning data using the system's user interface, which provides an intuitive dashboard for real-time monitoring. The data will be sent to the command centre via the Internet of Things. Components of the suggested system include gearbox modules, small wearable physiological equipment, and sensors. As a result, the suggested gear may be used to provide a cheap method of protecting the precious human life on the battlefield. Using global positioning system (GPS) and cellular service mobile phone (GSM) technology, this device can wirelessly monitor the soldier's vitals, including his or her heart rate and temperature.
