Field provider position tracking at mass gathering events.
WIISARD (Wireless Internet Information System for Medical Response to Disasters) utilizes wireless technology to improve medical care at mass casualty disasters. An important component of WIISARD is geolocation tracking of field personnel at the disaster site. Accurate, real-time information on personnel has the potential to improve resource utilization at the disaster site, as well as increase the safety of first responders caring for victims at a hazardous scene.
