  1. A Non-Contact Hemodynamic Status and Location System

  2. System Requirements • Improve medic situational awareness in mass casualty circumstances on the battlefield or homeland disasters • Provide non-contact cardiac output • Monitor multiple casualties, even when assisting others • Intuitive and objective casualty triage and location • Minimize responder risk, maximize responder efficiency • Improve medical outcomes impedance cardiography

  3. System Solution Casualty Visual Display Tactile Display IntraComm Antenna Intra Comm Human I/O RFII Ant. RFII GPS Ant. GPS Medic Intra Comm Antennas Intra Comm GPS Ant GPS ExtComm Antennas Ext Comm Compass CPU

  4. Intelligent Software is the enabler: • Databases • Models • Algorithms • Inference Engines System Architecture HR HR RFII CO CO Resp Resp Patient Database Casualty Life Score Population Database Multi-sensory Display Accelerometers Casualty Location GPS Passive RF Direction Finding

  5. Comparison of IQ & ETag N=520

  6. or Landline Communications • Modular Programmable Frequencies • Adaptive Wireless Communication • Data Transmission from Field to Central Command • UAV/Aircraft Compatible • Satellite communications • Provide seamless medical data transition • Secure Communications

  7. User Interface Tactile Display Visual Display

  8. System Challenges • Access to Databases (population and personal) • Algorithm development and verification • Antenna Interference. • Communications (bandwidth) • Availability of GPS signals • Sensitivity of the ETag to movement • What information to provide? • When to provide visual or tactile information? • How to provide visual information? • How to provide tactile information? • Where to provide tactile information?

  9. ™ One NcIQ™ per Miner: Minimize Miner Risk Mine Rescue Team: Optimize Rescue Response In Place Rescue Station: Optimize Miner Survival ™ Technology Diffusion

  10. Conclusion • Integrating systems for hemodynamic monitoring, global positioning, relative location and visual and non-visual displays of this information can provide a very powerful tool for multiple casualty management or safety (health and location) monitoring of crews working in extreme environments or hazardous situations. • In a multiple casualty situation, this system provides evidence-based decision making for prioritizing casualties for treatment 1st Generation of the Next Generation
