Abstract

Pre-hospital applications, such as triage, natural disasters, and nursing homes, will benefit from ubiquitous, embedded systems that wirelessly communicate patient�s vital signs. In order for an accurate, automated electronic system to be constructed, the system must be carefully designed in regards to usability and functionality. The sensor network in the Advanced Health and Disaster Network (AID-N) ubiquitously propagates information from the incident to the hospital. In this paper, we specifically focus on the usability concerns of a specific pre-hospital application, triage, and explore open issues in wireless medical systems for healthcare.
