Trauma specialists at Sydney鈥檚 Westmead 黑料吃瓜群网 have reported a positive response to the six-month trial of a new app designed specifically for the facility to assist with critical decision-making processes in time and resource restricted situations.
Available on iPhone and Android, the Westmead Trauma App was funded by a New South Wales Motor Accidents Authority grant and processes standard trauma algorithms (using a flow chart and easy-to-navigate options such as 鈥榩inch-to-zoom鈥, jump-words and pop-up boxes), presenting decision options based on the best available evidence.
Study author and trauma specialist Dr Jeremy Hsu noted the need for such a technology due to the nature of trauma response units, with urgent action needed and senior specialists not always on hand for consultation. The app has been designed for this very reason: quick, confident response in any situation.
鈥淭he algorithms and app have been formulated to provide a safe reproducible framework for the management of trauma patients,鈥 Dr Hsu said.
鈥淭he best trauma care lends itself to standardised practice and the widespread use of digital health technology has provided us with opportunities to provide more effective and efficient trauma care.鈥
You can about the trial鈥檚 results or download the paid app through iTunes or Google Play.
