The content of a medic’s pack is incredibly important. If they want to add something in, they likely have to take something out. This is increasingly important in prolonged care scenarios where resources may be limited. Our poster highlights a method we developed in-house for evaluating devices and technology in terms of which are most optimal to use in these environments. Our method crosses the deployability burden of a device – how difficult it is to use in a certain environment – with the value of the measurement(s) it records. By crossing these two scores for over a dozen non-invasive sensors and devices, we were able to rank them in terms of how optimal they are for battlefield use.
