Abstract

OBJECTIVE: An objective and convenient primary triage procedure is needed for prioritizing patients who need help in mass casualty incident (MCI) situations, where there is a lack of medical staff and available resources. This study aimed to develop an automated remote decision-making algorithm that remotely categorize a patient's emergency level using clinical parameters that can be measured with a wearable device.
