The Advanced Health and Disaster Aid Network (AID-N) project seeks to identify unmet needs of emergency response teams in the Washington, DC area during mass casualty incidents and conduct feasibility tests of technology-based solutions. The decentralized electronic triage and sensing system uses low power, electronic triage sensors to monitor the vital signs of patients and provide location tracking capabilities. The robust, decentralized location tracking software runs on a small, embedded system with limited memory and computational power that efficiently locates patients. A field study demonstrates the process of current emergency procedures and the design implications of the prototype. This field study, along with the hardware and software architecture of the electronic triage system, lay the foundation for a reliable, decentralized sensor deployment that will continuously extend network coverage during a mass casualty incident.
高级健康与灾难援助网络(AID-N)项目旨在确定华盛顿特区地区大规模伤亡事件应急响应团队未得到满足的需求,并对基于技术的解决方案进行可行性测试。这种去中心化的电子分诊与传感系统使用低功耗电子分诊传感器来监测患者的生命体征,并提供位置跟踪功能。强大的去中心化位置跟踪软件运行在一个内存和计算能力有限的小型嵌入式系统上,能高效定位患者。一项实地研究展示了当前应急程序的流程以及该原型的设计启示。这项实地研究以及电子分诊系统的硬件和软件架构,为可靠的去中心化传感器部署奠定了基础,该部署将在大规模伤亡事件期间持续扩大网络覆盖范围。
