Abstract
A networked triage system for prioritizing medical care administered to an injured user including a networked monitoring system and a plurality of user groups. Each group includes a portable network interface and a plurality of illuminated display systems. Each illuminated display system couples to an injured user and includes a plurality of light emitters. Each light emitter provides a predetermined wavelength of light than the other light emitters from the plurality of light emitters. Operatively, each respective predetermined wavelength provides information relating to a corresponding predetermined status of the user. Each illuminated display system includes an id tag processor that facilitates emission of identification signals for receipt by the portable network interface. Based on the identification signal, the portable network interface generates a network signal for receipt by the networked monitoring system. The network monitoring system can assess the degree of injury of several user groups in a triage situation.
