Panacea's Cloud: Augmented reality for mass casualty disaster incident triage and co-ordination

Communication in a mass casualty disaster scene is limited and difficult for medical personnel in the absence of necessary communication infrastructure and collaboration technologies. It leads to misdirected and delayed triage of scene-wide critically injured patients, especially when there is a large volume of patients needing diverse care levels. Our demonstration of Panacea's Cloud shows a solution that utilizes a Responder Theater Dashboard that incorporates Internet of Things (IoT) within a standardized Incident Command System (ICS) in order to improve communication and co-ordination across multiple concurrent disaster incident scenes. The Internet of Things (IoT) in our Panacea Cloud include heads-up displays, virtual beacons, QR-code cards, and wireless mesh network.
