Development of Micro-monitor for Soldier Status Based on Single Acceleration Transducer
Abstract：Objective To design a wearable micro-monitor which can be used in the battlefield, in order to monitor the soldier' s physical activity in real time. Methods Using MMA7260 transducer to get the activity and heartbeat acceleration signals at rest. Then, the extracted signals were processed in analogue circuit, and transmitted in real time to the soldier' s digital terminal with Zigbee wireless communication. Soldier' s physical activity and heart rate were recognized. Results The micro-monitor extracted and analyzed the acceleration signals effectively, and recognized standing, walking, running and so on. Conclusion A micro-monitor with the advantage of miniature, light and low power consumption is designed using MMA7260 transducer and Zigbee wireless communication with CC2430 chip, which can monitor the soldier' s real-time activity status and heart rate (at rest) for a long time.
