The invention relates to a novel loT-enabled smart garment
system designed to be worn beneath a bulletproof
vest, to perform location-based determination of a
body region penetrated by a
projectile after penetration of the
vest, to detect multiple
projectile impacts, and to differentiate impacts to vital organs, thereby enabling advance planning of medical intervention and casualty evacuation, wherein the loT-enabled smart garment comprises liquid-
conductivity-based sensor nodes positioned in a 3x3 matrix arrangement on both the front and rear sides of the body so as to define a total of 18 independent regions, wherein each
sensor node includes an IV fluid bag disposed between two opposing conductive
metal plates in the sensor and containing
silver nitrate or a similar conductive liquid, wherein the loT-enabled smart garment incorporates a liquid-
conductivity-based switching mechanism which operates on the principle that, when a
projectile impacts the body, rupture of the IV fluid bag causes the conductive liquid to flow between the
metal plates, thereby forming a short-circuit condition, wherein, by means of said mechanism, a
microcontroller determines which of the 18 sensor nodes corresponds to a closed switch state, thereby providing a point-
specific identification of the
body region through which the projectile has penetrated, wherein the loT-enabled smart garment further includes a GPS module for determining a location information of the
injured person, an IMU sensor for monitoring the motion state of the
injured person, biometric sensors for tracking
vital signs such as a
heart rate and a body temperature, and a
GSM module for transmitting real-time notifications to medical response teams and relevant security units so as to accelerate the intervention process, and wherein the loT-enabled smart garment
system thereby enables life-saving medical intervention in projectile-related injuries by means of all these features.
