Abstract

We have developed a patient triage and monitoring system to facilitate effectiveness patient care during emergency medical situations. This system includes: 1) electronic triage tags, 2) location sensors, 3) vital sign sensors, and 4) robust ad-hoc mesh networking software. This paper summarizes our development of continuous, automated, real-time biomedical sensors and software for use by emergency responders during chaotic pre-hospital settings.
