DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF EARLY HEAT STROKE DETECTION SYSTEM IN MILITARY CROSS COUNTRY BASED ON IoT

Abstract

Cross-country military sports are sports that are contested in the military environment as
an effort to foster the physical abilities of the Navy's soldiers. The doctrine in the Indonesian Navy
forcefully demands every soldier to never give up in every task that is carried out so that in military
sporting events the soldier will spend all of his abilities. In the process of cross-country competition
with heavy physical activity causing many soldiers who experience heat exhaust (pre heat stroke
conditions) continue to force themselves to compete and will continue to become a heat stroke.
This is compounded by the distance traveled so that the medical team had difficulty reaching the
soldiers who experienced the incident. Internet of things (IoT) is the idea that all objects in the real
world can communicate with each other as part of an integrated system using the internet network
as a link.
By using the IoT platform it is possible to monitor an object continuously and provide
analysis directly without being limited by distance and time. Based on the description above, it is
necessary to design and build an early detection system for the heat stroke of TNI AL soldiers in
cross-country military sport activities based on IoT (Internet of Thing). This system can help detect
positions and soldiers who will experience heat stroke so that medical treatment can be given early
to prevent heat stroke.
