The battlefield is full of dangers and uncertainties- in this chaos, paramedics need to treat the wounded and to send them for further treatment back on safe land and hospitals. As a consequence of that, the information on what actions the paramedics performed is essential for saving lives. Today the paramedics in the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) are required to fill a paper form manually with the actions that they executed on the wounded soldier and to do it under fire. The result of this method is that under the battle intensity, almost none of the paramedics fill the form. 101- The combat medical monitor recorder- comes to solve this problem.
This system assembled from 3 main components- Treatments pallet fan, Armband device, and military mobile phone with custom application.
The treatment pallet fan contains NFC stickers with the relevant operations for the paramedic. The armband device includes an activation trigger, battery, and control panel with a light indicator, NFC reader, and Bluetooth component. The mobile phone with the app allows after the evacuation of the wounded soldier to receive the treatment data from the armband device in a new updatable digital form.
Today there are 100 operational systems from the latest version and 50 from the prototype version delivered to various military units. The system has worked successfully in several real-time cases.
