Abstract

Wearable real-time systems collecting and smartly analyzing information about patient health status could help medical personnel adopting the most suitable countermeasures in case of highly stressful situations in military and civil scenarios. Such situations include terrorist attacks or rescue operations. We propose the design and development of a patch-like device prototype (SmartPatch) and a methodology enabling continuous evaluation of victims' vital parameters. Using this innovative platform after the first triage, the onsite emergency teams will have continuous information about the health status of each person wearing the SmartPatch. If the health status of a victim is changed, SmartPatch is able to generate an alert and prevent overlook of critical health changes causing potential severe life-threatening consequences or death.
