ABOUT SATS Mobile Triage

Triage is the critical process used to effectively prioritize patients and if implemented correctly has been shown to decrease mortality.

This becomes especially important within developing countries such as South Africa wherein the healthy system is further strained by the growing burden of disease and increased trauma, and lacks the relevant and adequate human and technological capacity and support to effectively manage the environment.

TOMPSA has identified a critical need in this regard and is in process of developing an automated, multi-parameter diagnostic triage device and accompanying application to be used by healthcare workers. The triage device would improve triage accuracy and optimize and automate the triaging process reducing triage time and related requisite training.

Furthermore, it would capacitate healthcare workers in under resourced environments to do an effective triage assessment, as the device would facilitate an instant electronic record of triage and relay data to a centralized point in an emergency centre.

We would like to thank Michele Twomey and DGN WebSolutions (Gerco Brandwijk) for making this app possible.
