Alternatively, the system comprises simulation devices (6) associated with simulation weapons (6 ") carried by the first group (1) of users, for example, laser weapons that emit a simulated firing signal and that can interact with the devices (6) of impact or injury simulation associated to body areas of the first group (1) of users to generate simulated wounds and collect the information to send it through the integrated means (6 ') of transmission to the communication network (3 ) More preferably, the devices (6) associated with the simulation weapons (6 ") may register and send to the communication network (3) information relating to the user carrying the weapon (eg, shooting statistics), or relative to the state of the simulation weapon (6 ") (for example, the remaining ammunition).

More preferably, the system comprises impact or injury simulation devices (6) fixed on the equipment or clothing of the second group (1 ') of users, said simulation devices (6) being configured with hardware and / or software means to generate simulation information of impacts or injuries associated with said second group (1 ') users, and where said simulation devices (6) are also equipped with integrated means (6') for wireless transmission of simulation information to the communication network (3).

More preferably, the impact or injury simulation devices (6) comprise means of transmitting geolocation information to the server (4) via the internet and / or the mobile connection.

To finish recording the information related to the activities of the user groups (1, 1 '), the system of the invention further comprises one or more mobile terminals (7), configured for its equipment by the second group (1' ) of users, equipped with means for receiving, reading and recording the simulation information generated by the simulation devices (6), and being configured with hardware and / or software means for the reproduction of health intervention protocols associated with said simulation information; said mobile terminals being

(7) connected to the communication network (3) through the internet and / or a mobile connection.

Reproduction of health intervention protocols shall be understood as the reproduction of multimedia material, sound or information about a simulated lesion, etc.

In this way, the mobile terminals (7) allow an interaction with the second group (1 ') of users through the installed software application and channel information associated with the devices (6) to reproduce the health intervention protocols. The generated data is transmitted through the mobile connection, registered in the database (5) and processed by the server (4), generating activity reports for each user belonging to this second group (1 '), which will be managed by the remote manager (2) of the data obtained. The mobile terminal (7) preferably incorporates a geolocation device or global positioning device (GPS, WiFi triangulation, altimeter, etc.) that allows to know in real time the location of the second group (1 ') of users. For example, you can monitor the activities carried out and in progress, the geographical location at the time of developing each activity, the start time, stop and time invested in each activity and / or time period.

Optionally, the system comprises mobile terminals (7) configured for its equipment by the first group (1) of users.

Finally, the system of the invention comprises one or more management devices (8, 8 ', 8 ") connected to the communication network (3) through the internet and / or a mobile network, said management devices being (8, 8 ', 8 ") equipped with means for receiving the data transmitted by the simulation devices (6) or mobile terminals (7), and with processing means through the server (4) and / or the databases (5) for the generation of health intervention protocols.

The generation of health care incidents and protocols can occur through the intervention of managers (2), or these protocols can be generated under statistical criteria or even randomly through the server (4), so that to All training participants are unknown incidents until the moment they take place.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention in which there is a simulated impact on a simulation device (6) carried by a user belonging to the first group

(one)

 (for example in the part of his clothing next to the left arm), the device

(6)

 Simulation sends the information with relevant data about the impact (for example, "impact on the left arm") to the communication network (3) through the data connection (3), said information reaches both the managers ( 2) as to the server

(4)

 and to the databases (5). In this situation, the managers (2) can intervene and send new information to the mobile terminal (7) that carries the second group (1 ') of users

or a type trauma can be generated directly that automatically determines the damages and a protocol of sanitary intervention from the processor (4) (for example "serious injury in left arm in a participant that is in the location X"). Part, all or none of the information of said generated protocol can be sent to the second group (1 ’) of users that receive it in their mobile terminal (7) (for example" injured in location X "). If a warning is sent through the mobile terminal (7) to the second group of users (1 '), at this time, the users of the second group (1') must move to the place where the injured person belongs to the first group (1), and the medical intervention begins, establishing a complete interaction between all the elements of the system. Alternatively, the second group of users (1 ') can be notified by other means to go to the location of the injured, for example, directly by a user of the first group (1) that is in the vicinity of the area or by the Managers (2) through radio communication. Alternatively, it may be of interest for the strategy of the exercise, not to notify at all any group of users (1, 1 ') that there is an injured person on the ground, with the aim that this injured person be discovered without extra help, and then Evaluate a rescue process of these characteristics.

Optionally, the interaction can include several stages, creating a dialogue between manager (2) and users of the second group (1 ') through the mobile terminal (7) or it can directly consist of an interaction between mobile terminal (7) and second group (1 ') of users through the software without the intervention of the managers (2). For this, the mobile terminal (7) carried by the user (1) is preferably a device with computing and communication capability that includes an interaction system with the users of the second group (1 '), visual or output ("display "or screen) and write

or input (keyboard, etc.). For example, users belonging to the second group (1 ') can be asked through the mobile terminal (7) what they should do next to treat the wounded of the first group (1). Users of the second group (1 ') must respond by selecting the correct answer (for example, "turnstile"), after which the software identifies the correct action and proceeds to perform the following activity. In this way, the system of the invention not only allows the activity to be monitored from the location of the managers (2), but also facilitates a comprehensive evaluation and training tool for the users of the second group (1 ') in real time.

In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the first group (1) of users can also receive notices or orders through a mobile terminal (7) and interact actively in the medical intervention protocol or in other alternative activities. More preferably, only the mobile terminals (7) of the first group of users (1) intervene in the simulation exercise, first of all the users of the first group (1) assist themselves in the event of a simulated accident and interacting later users of the first group (1) with the users of the second group (1 ') without the use of the mobile terminals (7) carried by the users of the second group (1').

Optionally, the server (4) can be configured through software to generate fictitious events, which interact randomly or programmed with the remote managers (2) or with the users (1, 1 '), in order to generate different scenarios of simulation (for example, representing fortuitous explosions, landslides or other emergency situations), for example in order that remote managers (2) coordinate with users (1, 1 ') and make decisions in real time.

Alternatively, more user groups with different functions or tasks (eg enemies) can be included in the simulation.

Likewise, the system of the invention may comprise a content configurator module implemented by software, associated with the management devices (8, 8 ', 8 "), which allows to construct scenarios and / or incorporate maps, cartographic, orographic or geographical references. other terrain elements, such as buildings, vehicles, etc. It is thus possible to provide a tool for managers (2) who, in a simple and versatile manner, can incorporate terrain references during simulation exercises. Everything that users (1, 1 ') will find on the ground during the exercise, can be represented by symbols and edited on the map from the content configurator.

Optionally, said content manager, for the recreation of the scenario, presents the information with the regulatory standard code of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The possibility of use by the managers (2) of said code through the system of the invention, in a versatile and simple way, means making the system of the invention universal for all NATO countries, thus improving its functionality

Additionally, the server (4) can be configured with an analysis module, which performs the functions of evaluation and prediction of the activities and exercises carried out, including the evaluation, by the managers (2), of the health interventions or of rescue performed. In this way, conclusions can be obtained to improve the procedures and improve the training of user groups (1, 1 ') at all levels.

One of the advantages of the system of the invention is that the entire resolution of the medical incidence can occur automatically. There is no need for dedicated personnel to feed the process nor is any additional device required. The speed of the transmission of information between server (4) and / or manager (2) and second group (1 ') of users ensures that the procedure is developed in real time and that there can be as many sanitary processes under way as there are casualties. really producing during the drill. In addition, the manager (2) can inject specific medical cases if they are of interest for the exercise, for example, when they want to simulate the effects of indirect fire or explosive devices.

The system of the invention provides an effective means for the control of protocols in a simulated situation of sanitary intervention and / or rescue. The implementation of the system is low cost and reusable, and allows real-time management and monitoring, generating a realistic environment that provides comprehensive training during the training of users of both groups (1, 1 ’).

Additionally, thanks to the proposed system, the transmission of information related to the activities and practices of the users of both groups (1, 1 ') is carried out efficiently and comfortably, since both the simulation devices (6) and the Mobile terminal (7) are portable and lightweight devices. In this way, it is achieved that said elements improve the immersion of the users of both groups (1, 1 ’) in simulated situations, compared to what is offered by other known techniques.

As described in previous paragraphs, the system of the invention thus has the following main applications: user management of both the first group (1) and the second group (1 ') and of their individual teams, management of assistance teams medical and safety, management of intersectoral organization, creation of command orders, sending orders to users belonging to both groups (1, 1 ') as well as continuous monitoring of their status and location and evaluation of activities during the execution of training .
