Title:

Wireless Wearable Triage & Health Monitoring Device for MCIs and First Responders

Mass Casualty Incidents (MCIs) are emergencies that can overwhelm an area's emergency services, and are often chaotic and dangerous for first responders. In MCIs, triage may become necessary to determine who to care for first. A device is proposed to allow for continual monitoring of patients awaiting care in an MCI by sending vitals data from an easy to apply wearable device. A prototype device was designed and constructed, and can send encrypted heart rate, and respiration rate (both obtained through usage of an electocardiogram), as well as skin temperature, over LoRa to a central monitoring and logging hub, to allow for better care and resource management in a theoretical MCI.
