AUTONOMOUS MEDICAL DOCUMENTATION
PASSIVE DATA COLLECTION VIA SENSOR SUITES
THE PROBLEM
Lack of Medical Documentation
Military prehospital care often occurs in austere, chaotic environments. Medics and combat lifesavers in the battlespace balance:
Casualty severity
Large patient load
Limited supplies
During times of intense activity, medics must prioritize their patients over documenting care delivery, making medical documentation challenging, if not impossible. Capturing medical data becomes secondary to saving lives, but there is still a need for timely, accurate, automated medical documentation.
In the moment, this data generates valuable information to higher echelons of care, medical resupply/logistics systems, and command situational awareness (SA).
In the future, this data allows AI and ML to enhance delivery care in the future tactical environment based on lessons learned from current care requirements.
THE SOLUTION
TATRC's Autonomous Documentation Project
A component of the Autonomous Casualty Care (AC2) mission
Moberg Analytics was awarded a contract with the DOD Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC) to passively collect casualty care data using video, audio, and motion capture sensors in prehospital environment. This data will be used in ML algorithms to automatically create a digital DD 1380 form, or tactical combat casualty care (TCCC) card.
It is vital that the processes in collecting this data do not distract the medic/caregiver’s capability and capacity to deliver care. While this first solution aims to address documentation primarily in the pre-hospital environment, the same data can be used in developing algorithms for:
Precision logistics
Prioritized Evacuation
Enhanced triage
THE vision
ACME: Autonomous Communications Medical Ecosystem
We are developing ACME to autonomously and passively collect data from patients, caregivers, and resources to complete the DD 1380 card and to transmit the data in open formats to build the database. We are making this technology “Apple Easy” to remove the burden of training and use from the medic.
Our Partners
Without a means to collect data reliably and passively from the point of injury through higher echelons of care, the Military Health Care system will continue to lack the essential data to develop trustworthy artificial intelligence to support future concepts that will sustain medical operations in future conflicts.
