A wearable IoT device for real-time soldier health surveillance is presented in this paper. Physiological parameters including heart rate, blood-oxygen saturation, and body temperature are continuously acquired through an embedded sensor array interfaced with an ESP32 microcontroller. Geographic location, movement speed, and field position are tracked via an integrated GPS module. Aggregated telemetry is relayed to a cloud dashboard over Wi-Fi under standard operational conditions; when network coverage is unavailable, A secondary GSM channel autonomously delivers critical data to a command terminal via SMS. The layered communication strategy substantially improves resilience in contested or remote environments, yielding a compact, low-cost platform suitable for large-scale military deployment.
