Abstract
The design of easy-to-use mobile systems for collecting and handling emergency medical care data in the field can significantly
improve the effectiveness of rescue operations. In particular, this paper focuses on the design and evaluation of a mobile
application that replaces ambulance run paper sheets. First, we discuss the limitations of traditional ambulance run paper
sheets. Then, we present the PDA-based system we have developed. Finally, we discuss in detail the usability study we have
carried out with first responders.
