Conceptual Study of LSTAT Integration and Robotics

Abstract

Battlefield medicine is moving toward adoption of several new technologies to both improve the quality of care and protect healthcare providers. This has already begun through use of the Life Support for Trauma and Transport (LSTAT) patient transport litter. This study explores broader opportunities to integrate with LSTAT medical imaging, medical robots and other advanced diagnostic and therapeutic technologies to yield additional capabilities. New functionalities, potential timeframes for integration, and interoperability concerns are examined. Recommendations for a suite of technologies that can add value in the near term and create opportunities for future synergy are made.
