AUDIME: Augmented Disaster Medicine

摘要

In this positioning paper we present the AUDIME project approach in which we plan to evaluate the usability and social acceptance of smart and wearable devices in the context of mass-casualty-incidents. AUDIME aims to provide a platform which captures, evaluates, and provides data from various sources on an incident site. This way, triage, patient monitoring, information sharing and communication are to be improved, which simplifies decision making at executive staff level. In contrast to previous projects, AUDIME does not replace any low-tech or non-tech approaches (e.g. triage cards,) but enhances the information handling by capturing analogue information using smart or wearable devices and distributing digitalized data to qualified recipients in real-time.
