Stud Health Technol Inform. 2019 Aug 21:264:1641-1642. doi: 10.3233/SHTI190574.

Abstract

Recent statistics have demonstrated that Emergency Departments (EDs) in Greece lack in organization and service. In most cases, patient prioritization is not automatically implemented. The main objective of this paper is to present IntelTriage, a smart triage system, that dynamically assigns priorities to patients in an ED and monitors their vital signs and location during their stay in the clinic through wearable biosensors. Initital scenarios and functional requirements are presented as preliminary results.

Keywords: Clinical Decision Making; Triage; Wearable Electronic Devices.
