ARTEMIS: AI-driven Robotic Triage Labeling and Emergency Medical Information System
share
Mass casualty incidents (MCIs) pose a formidable challenge to emergency medical services by overwhelming available resources and personnel. Effective victim assessment is paramount to minimizing casualties during such a crisis. In this paper, we introduce ARTEMIS, an AI-driven Robotic Triage Labeling and Emergency Medical Information System. This system comprises a deep learning model for acuity labeling that is integrated with a robot, that performs the preliminary assessment of injury severity in patients and assigns appropriate triage labels. Additionally, we have developed a frontend (graphical user interface) that is updated by the robots in real time and is accessible to the first responders. To validate the reliability of our proposed algorithmic triage protocol, we employed an off-the-shelf robot kit equipped with sensors for vital sign acquisition. A controlled laboratory simulation of an MCI was conducted to assess the system's performance and effectiveness in real-world scenarios resulting in a triage-level classification accuracy of 92 noteworthy achievement underscores the model's proficiency in discerning crucial patterns for accurate triage classification, showcasing its promising potential in healthcare applications.
