Electronic Patient Care Tracking

Abstract

<p>There is a need for technology innovations that can help improve medical care while reducing its cost. The Electronic Patient Care Tracking (EPCT) project is an AFRL rapid prototyping center sponsored project designed to explore the integration of technology innovations to create a medical care tracking capability. In EPCT, the goal is to develop a capability for first responders be able to gather information and store it on an RFID wrist band to keep accurate on-scene emergency care information with the patient from first responder to first provider. This project was organized and conducted at the Wright Brother's Institute TecAEdge Discovery Lab as a collaboration of AFRL and WSU to give students an opportunity for "experiential learning" under AFRL's Academic Leadership Pipeline Scholarship (ALPS) program.</p><p>This presentation occurred at the Wright State University Campus-Wide Celebration of Research, Scholarship and Creative Activities on April 16, 2010</p>
