Severe traumatic brain injury patients are in critical condition, and rapid rescue is very important for prognosis. Currently, the resuscitation process is complex and it is difficult to get to the operating room quickly to target treatment. We present a new strategy based on the Internet of Things system to integrate complex first aid procedures for efficient and comprehensive rescuing of patients with severe traumatic brain injury. This system includes three modules: human sign monitoring equipment, emergency transport equipment, and a network diagnosis and treatment progress control center. The system not only supports the streamlining of rescue procedures but also transmits the patient's status and optimal treatment strategies in real-time by using an advanced Internet of Things system. After deploying the system in a hospital, we conducted a validation study to evaluate its feasibility and superiority in clinical use. The preliminary results of the study show that this system can significantly shorten the treatment time, which may help the prognosis of severe traumatic brain injury patients.
