1. A life signs detection system for monitoring one significant vital sign and one indirect life sign of subjects, said system comprising:

  • a plurality of wearable platforms, each wearable platform comprising;

    a heart rate sensor configured to detect a heart rate;

    a body motion sensor configured to detect motion;

    a respiration rate sensor configured to determine respiration rate by detecting motion of a subject;

    a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature;

    a processor comprising a rule processing engine configured to execute a health state assessment algorithm that performs a medical evaluation and determines a confidence level for the evaluation, said algorithm comprising a rule set to calculate a health state classification and a decision confidence score corresponding to an indicator of confidence; and

    a transmitter configured to transmit local sensor data of medical state information detected by sensors of the wearable platform, the local sensor data of medical state information comprising heart rate, motion, respiration rate, and temperature, and configured to transmit results of the medical evaluation and the decision confidence score;

    a plurality of local hubs each comprising;

    an external display for displaying the results of the medical evaluation;

    a local transceiver hub configured to accept connection from the external display; and

    a receiver configured to receive local sensor data from said wearable platforms; and

    a remote base station configured to receive information from a plurality of local hubs.
