Abstract

Transient explosions on the battlefield result in blast injuries that are polytrauma in nature. That is, along with physical wounds additional injury can include cognitive and communication impairments related to traumatic brain injury (TBI). The design of a multisensor system embedded in an advanced combat helmet is presented that is capable of real time tracking of physiological signals (EEG, blast pressure, head acceleration, oxygen saturation and heart rate) and facilitating a reliable and dependable decision making process that provide alerts for potential traumatic brain injury. The cyperphysical system focuses on the use of heterogeneous sensors within the helmet pads and a processing element for real time algorithmic processing.
