Rapid Battlefield Triage
Abstract
The Rapid Battlefield Triage program will advance capabilities to quickly triage warfighters requiring urgent life-saving medical intervention and enable medical resources to provide an appropriate response in current and future battlefields. Today, triage at point-of-injury is limited by subjective assessments, tools that are manually intensive, and physiological signatures with little diagnostic and prognostic value. This program will build on recent biomarker discoveries and innovations in sensing platforms to develop field-portable technologies that support triage in the most challenging operational environments. By optimizing allocation of scarce medical resources and scaling to multiple casualties, these devices will help far-forward units maximize their fighting strength against adversaries that inflict large numbers of casualties and constrain evacuation to advanced medical facilities.
