ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the software developed to monitor the wearer at the user end is noted besides the various communication methods used to interface the wearable electronic products to the remote end are also discussed. Through this research work, wearable electronics such as teleintimation garment and smart shirt have been developed. To operate the garment in an effective manner, various factors and data have to be collected, analysed and processed to operate the required sensors and processors. For this purpose, software has been developed using Visual Basic and LabVIEW known as Soldier’s Status-Monitoring (SSM) Software for monitoring applications. This chapter also discusses the software developed to track the soldier based on global positioning system (GPS) – general packet radio service (GPRS) technology. The purpose of body sensor networks (BSNs) is to provide an integrated hardware and software platform for facilitating the future development of pervasive monitoring systems.
