Advanced Physiological Monitoring of FCS Soldiers

Abstract : We quantify dynamical change in nonlinear time-serial data via dissimilarity measures between statistical distribution functions. These new measures are superior to traditional nonlinear measures and give robust and timely forewarning of normal-to-abnormal transitions in physiological regimes. These novel measures also provide rapid quantitative assessment of physiological change such as alertness, soldier readiness and bioagent exposure.
