AHFE Open AccessInnovative Biosensor based Aeromedical Monitoring Solution for Specific Military Medical Evacuation Scenarios
Abstract
Natural disasters, industrial accidents, or outbreaks, as evidenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, underscores the importance of preparedness in managing immediate evacuation of affected individuals. Infectious diseases pose the risk of compromising the transport environment by potentially contaminating the interior of the transport vessel. Addressing this challenge, this paper presents the DEKO-AirTrans solution introducing the development and implementation of a mobile evacuation system, tailored for use aboard the C-130 Hercules aircraft. The system features a flexible cell construction anchored to a multifunctional HCU-6 pallet, enveloped in a specifically designed protective tent material with high filtration and air permeability qualities to avoid contamination of the C-130 interior. Integrated sensor systems and wireless biosensors allow for continuous health monitoring of transported individuals, ensuring medical oversight during transport. DEKO-AirTrans represents an advancement in the air evacuation domain, offering a cost-effective, rapidly deployable, and flexible solution for the safe transport of highly infectious or contaminated persons. The system's design ensures quick setup, ease of storage, transportability, and compatibility with existing standards, highlighting its potential as a solution for emergency medical evacuation scenarios.
