Watch: A new wearable monitor helps medics make those life-and-death calls on the battlefield.

In the heat of battle, medics have to be prepared for injuries and casualties on the battlefield.

A new device is being developed by Czech Technical University and Nato to help medics make that decision.

A new wearable monitor helps medics make those life-and-death calls on the battlefield by creating a digital hub of medical data, as explained in the video above.
