OPERATION
7
Sensing: Wearable sensors are used to collect data on various physiological and environmental parameters such
as heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and physical activity. The sensors may be worn on the body,
integrated into clothing, or attached to accessories such as watches or bracelets.
Data transmission: The data collected by the sensors is transmitted to a mobile device or a cloud-based
platform via wireless communication technologies such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
Data processing: The data collected by the sensors is processed by software algorithms to extract relevant
information and insights. Machine learning algorithms may be used to analyze large datasets and identify
patterns or trends.
Visualization: The data is presented to the user in a user-friendly format, such as a dashboard or a mobile app, to
provide real-time feedback and enable the user to monitor their health and wellness.
Action: The user can take action based on the insights provided by the wearable sensing technology. For
example, they may adjust their physical activity levels, modify their diet, or seek medical attention if necessary.

• Wearable sensors include technology that tracks
soldier’s vitals such as heart rate or respiratory rate.
• VR-based simulation exercises.
• Combat Performance Optimization: Track movement
patterns and biomechanical data, enabling soldiers to
improve their tactics and lower the chance of damage.
• FSR (Force Sensing Resistors): To measure a person's running
efficiency, FSRs can be fitted to the insoles of their boots.
Additionally, it can pinpoint the foot muscles that are under
the most stress. With the right training to eliminate any strain,
injuries can be prevented by monitoring the affected muscles
with FSRs.
