  1. Mountain Medic Team Out Cold Final Presentation 2013

  2. The Problem, in a Nutshell: • People play sports • People fall down • People have problems getting back up • People need to be evaluated to obtain medical attention • Evaluation takes time and effort, and is inefficient to document • Less time documenting injuries means more time caring for patients

  3. (Re)Introducing Mountain Medic • Improve patient processing process at Hunt Hollow • Provide a highly usable way to record incidents • Access data to prevent incidents from occurring • Lessen exposure to red tape • Guide patient interview process for injuries

  4. Demo

  5. Solution Set Tablet app prompts users to ask the right questions Forms are auto- generated to save time Analytics allow patrollers to find unsafe locations or activities Body exam makes it easy to record wounds

  6. Form Printouts • Auto-generate forms using MS Access • Sponsors can add, edit forms later without heavy technical knowledge

  7. Body Exam • Before Mountain Medic: • Injuries were described textually • Potential mix-ups based on details in description (where is ‘upper arm’? etc.) • Now: • Draw injuries on a body • Replace text with images • Speak scenarios instead of typing • Caretaker is reminded to ask questions based on injuries indicated

  8. Measurements • Tablet makes it easy to record patient data • Records vitals, demographic information, etc. • Percent indicators remind patrollers to ask all questions

  9. Excel Analytics • Performing analysis and creating charts is super easy • Numbers are also freely available for further analysis

  10. Backups • Previously: forms are kept but physical backups are difficult • New system can export in several different ways • Forms can now be kept or they can be electronically backed up

  11. Execution

  12. Why? • Android has a low cost of entry and is easy to deploy • Java/Android matched member skillsets • Utilizing Office saved weeks of development time • MySQL was a mature option that members had used before

  13. The System

  14. What Went Well? • Lots of process and progress in the winter • Android tablets were cheap and allowed everyone to develop • Process methodology was great for the project • High levels of sponsor support • Team gelled well

  15. What Didn’t Go Well? • Some loss of focus in the spring • Poor estimates on feature work meant some delays occurred • Testing • Not enough time for stylistic improvements • Mixed stack caused compatibility/configuration issues

  16. Current Status • Tablet app is feature-complete • Excel and Access display data well • Server in progress – suffered due to poor estimates
