Abstract
In this paper, a triage system using RFID and its experiment are described. Triage is a procedure used by emergency personnel to ration limited medical resources to massive injured people, in which triage tags, are used to 1: classify and transport the injured effectively, and 2: obtain and publish the state and the scale of the casualty incident. We applied RFID tags and mobile devices with a wireless network to speed up and increase the accuracy of these applications, verified through an experiment assuming massive injured people, and demonstrated that it even accelerates the transportation of the injured people.
