Abstract:- Soldiers play a key role in the security system II. METHODOLOGY
of the country. So, it’s a prime responsibility to provide
security to a soldier also. This proposed project uses a A. Software Requirements:
health monitoring and tracking system to check health by Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 and Above
records & track the location of the soldier by Longitude Programming Language: Java
and Latitude details. The sensors are fitted on soldier’s IDE: Net beans
body, and with the help of a GPS tracker, thorough IOT,
the data will be transmitted to the control room. The B. Hardware Requirements:
project is to contrivance a mechanism to protect valuable Processor: Intel Core I3 or Higher
human life on the battlefield. RAM: 4 GB or Higher
Hard Disk: 100 GB (min)
Keywords:- IoT Technology, Heartbeat/Pulse Sensor, Controller: Node MCU
Temperature sensor, GPS tracker.
Sensors: Heartbeat, Temperature, GPS tracker.
I. INTRODUCTION
C. Sensors :
Security of any country is monitored by the Defense a) Controller: Node MCU:
which includes ARMY, NAVY, and AIR FORCE. The Data transfer using WIFI Protocol is possible by
soldiers who are at more risk are the ARMY who stay near connecting it to the Node MCU ESP8266.
the boundaries & keep watch on the various activities. The
life of these soldiers is always at high risk and unaware of the
unknown facts that may affect the scrutiny of the area. It’s
the biggest challenge for the headquarters to get the health
record and location of any soldier on the field. For soldiers,
safety is the main factor to consider so we did brainstorming
to develop a kit to monitor the health & location of a soldier,
so as will help to provide necessary medical help. Using GPS
soldiers are tracked and a wireless communication system is
provided using GSM for monitoring the health parameters of Fig. 1
soldiers, we have used biomedical sensors such as heartbeat
sensors and temperature sensors, it is essential for the b) Heartbeat Sensor:
headquarters to determine the exact location and soldiers’ The Heartbeat using pulse sensor SEN – 11574. The
health status, Using this project, in on-time the location and principle behind the working of the Pulse Sensor is
the health reading of the soldier can be sent to the Head Photoplethysmography. As per the principle, the

This is a wearable technology which is the most important
factor of this project.
