Journal of Usability Studies Highlight

A Next-Generation Augmented Reality Platform for Mass Casualty Incidents (MCI)

by Fatih Demir, Salman Ahmad, MD, FACS, Prasad Calyam, Duo Jiang, Rui Huang, Isa Jahnke

It is vitally important to coordinate resources, information sharing, and two-way communication between medical incident commanders (ICs) and first medical responders (paramedics) at mass casualty incidents (MCI) sites. Information at the time of disasters also needs to be effectively analyzed and presented through intelligent user interfaces. Such interfaces need to be easy-to-use by ICs to foster critical decisions that can potentially reduce mortality rates. In this paper, we present Panacea’s Cloud™—a next-generation multiple casualty management system.
