The MobileIRIS™ system saves lives by improving the communication between field personnel and coordinators to more effectively deploy resources, ensure critical patients get the attention they require, and track each victim in a single, shared system.

Recent catastrophic events have exposed a glaring "missing link" in disaster scene management: PATIENT TRACKING. Hospital staff are often the last to know the details of the incident scene, until the patients begin to roll through their doors. Without advance information, there is little time available to gather the necessary resources or locate specialized equipment and personnel until after the patients have arrived. With MobileIRIS™ technology, the hospital can know the condition of the patients, and even see images of the injuries long before they arrive in the emergency room for treatment.

IRIS also tracks survivors and the "walking wounded," ultimately helping to reunite missing relatives and loved ones, without tying up valuable resources needed at the scene of the disaster. Without a shared information platform that can be used by all agencies responding to the disaster, there is no readily accessible means to get this information.
