CERVANTES, José; REYES, José  e  BRACHO, Giovanni. DEVELOPMENT OF A PROTOTYPE FOR USE AS A SUPPORT TOOL TO THE PERSONAL PHYSICIAN IN THE TRIAGE GRADING FOR PATIENTS IN EMERGENCY SERVICES BASED ON THEIR VITAL SIGNS. Investig. andina [online]. 2017, vol.19, n.34, pp.1829-1843.  Epub 01-Abr-2017. ISSN 0124-8146.

We present the development of a prototype for use as a personal medical support tool in triage grading for patients in emergency services based on their vital signs. The prototype consists of an instrumentation module that measures vital signs after acquiring and processing biosignals present in patients. It also consists of an interface on the web platform where the measures are stored and processed to classify patients at an emergency level; To link the instrumentation module and the user interface, a communications module based on wireless Wi-Fi technology is built. The main characteristics of the elements used, configurations and protocols are indicated. The tests are performed with the instrumentation module that compares the measurements with those obtained by the conventional methods used by medical professionals, the tests are submitted to 29 different patients, 72.4% of which were female and 27.6% male, the average age was 29.4 years; The percentages of error that are obtained are admissible. It can be identified how the treatment system can be of great personal medical help in the decision making when assigning a level of triage to the patients, thus reducing the time of classification of these in the emergency services.
