“Triage with RFID Tags”, Proc. 1st International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare 2006, Dec. 2006. Koji Inoue
Triage: a procedure used by emergency personnel to ration limited medical resources to massive injured people
With triage tags◦ Classify and transport the injured effectively◦ Obtain and publish the state and the scale of the
casualty incident Speed up and increase the accuracy Verified through experiment
The work flow of triage operated by emergency personnel
First aid area, operation point 1st triage(incident site)
◦ Tagged in 30sec◦ Black/DECEASED◦ Red/IMMEDIATE◦ Yellow/DELAYED◦ Green/MINOR
2nd triage(first aid area)◦ Information of injured people◦ name/age/sex…◦ Written on tags
Hospital selection In ambulance, collect information
Data integrity◦ Triage tags are cut off, lost or left
Input throughput◦ Input information time should be very short
Availability◦ Input operations of injured-person's information
should be available anytime Low latency
◦ Information not collected until the ambulance which transported
Transport injured people as quickly as possible
Information collection of injured people affects to the latency of transportation◦ Troublesome operations for information collection◦ The level of injury and hospital to be transported
have to be collected within 1st or 2nd triage prior to transportation,
RFID as a local buffer◦ Can input data
Information can collect through wireless network
Easy to read by using mobile device compared to handwriting
A triage tags◦ With input forms for the information
1st and 2nd triage terminal, hospital selection◦ PDA RFID reader and a wireless communication
interface Ambulance terminal, hospital terminal,
Operation point terminal*◦ A notebook PC equipped with a handy RFID reader
and a wireless communication interface The server
A complex car crash of 5cars and about 82 injured people
Such a big scale!
The RFID triage system is demonstrated to be effective in mass casualty incidents of about 100 injured people
Using RFID to develope a information system
