The HMC 2008-2009 CIMIT Clinic team project is to develop an Integrated Clinical Environment Supervisor (ICES) for use by combat medics. The ICES is a portable device carried on the medic, and will monitor patients’ conditions by communicating with several necessary medical devices such as an IV pump and blood pressure cuff. The ICES will also deliver decision-support for suggested treatments and direct the medical devices to administer treatments to multiple patients simultaneously.
