1. A system for automated triage prioritization, comprising:

  • a plurality of monitoring devices, each monitoring device comprising a first portion and a second portion, each first portion of each monitoring device configured for deployment on a surface opposite a concha of a respective ear of a respective subject, and each first portion of each monitoring device comprising;

    a plurality of physiological sensors comprising;

    a pulse oximetry sensor comprising an emitter configured to emit light in a direction toward the concha and a receptor configured to receive light reflected from one or more sources in the direction, the pulse oximetry sensor configured to generate an electronic pulse oximetry signal based on the received, reflected light;

    a blood pressure sensor comprising;

    an electrocardiograph sensor configured to monitor an electrical potential at the ear surface; and

    a motion sensor configured to monitor motion at the ear surface relevant to a motion axis,the blood pressure sensor configured to generate an electronic blood pressure signal based on the monitored electrical potential and motion;

    an orientation sensor configured to monitor an orientation of the respective subject relative to an orientation axis and to generate an electronic orientation signal based on the monitored orientation;

    each second portion of each monitoring device comprising;

    one or more atmospheric sensors comprising a pressure sensor configured to monitor ambient pressure around a surface of the respective subject and to generate an electronic ambient pressure signal based on the monitored pressure;

    a transmitter configured to transmit the generated electronic signals over a first network;

    a mobile communication and display device comprising;

    a communications interface configured to be coupled to the first network and to receive the transmitted electronic signals over the first network from each of the transmitters of each of the plurality of monitoring devices;

    a user interface;

    a processor coupled to the communications interface;

    a non-transient machine-readable storage medium encoded with program code executable by the processor for;

    generating respective machine readable values indicative of pulse oximetry, orientation, and blood pressure for each of the subjects using the received electronic signals;

    generating respective human readable values indicative of pulse oximetry and blood pressure for each of the subjects using the received electronic signals;

    generating a respective prognosis score for each of the subjects using the generated machine readable values;

    selecting a triage prioritization order of the subjects using the generated prognosis scores; and

    displaying the generated respective human readable values for at least two of the subjects on respective portions of the user interface based on the selected triage prioritization order.
