Wireless technology improves disaster victim care. The WIISARD Scene Manager (WSM) device successfully tracked victims and ambulances, aiding coordination during a large-scale disaster exercise.

Area of Science:

  • Disaster medicine
  • Health informatics
  • Wireless technology applications

Background:

  • Effective management of mass casualty incidents is critical.
  • Real-time data access is essential for disaster response coordination.
  • Existing systems may lack efficient data collection and accessibility for victims and resources.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the performance of the WIISARD Scene Manager (WSM) device.
  • To assess the WSM's utility in enhancing real-time data collection and accessibility for disaster management.
  • To determine the WSM's effectiveness in coordinating patient care during a mass casualty exercise.

Main Methods:

  • Deployment of the WIISARD Scene Manager (WSM) device during a large-scale disaster exercise.
