Trauma Black Box® is an innovative technology system designed to revolutionize trauma response in healthcare settings. This cutting-edge solution captures and analyzes critical audio-visual, environmental, and patient data during trauma responses, providing trauma teams with powerful insights to drive continuous improvement.

The system's core functionality lies in its ability to record comprehensive data during trauma resuscitationss, including video footage, audio, and environmental factors. This captured information is then integrated with annotation tools and consolidated timelines, offering an unvarnished and holistic view of each trauma response.

Key features of Trauma Black Box include:

-Comprehensive Data Capture: Records video, audio, and environmental data during trauma responses.

-Integrated Annotation Tools: Allows for detailed marking and analysis of specific events or actions.

-Consolidated Timelines: Provides a clear, chronological view of the entire trauma resuscitation process.

-Performance Analysis: Enables teams to pinpoint areas for improvement in efficiency, quality of care, safety standards, and team communication.

-Video Library: Stores and indexes trauma videos for analysis, teaching, and research.

By facilitating a continuous feedback loop, Trauma Black Box empowers healthcare organizations to systematically analyze and refine every aspect of their trauma response process. This leads to optimized team performance, enhanced efficiency, improved patient safety, and overall higher quality of care.

Customizability: The system is adaptable to specific institutional needs, which may not be the case for all competitors.

Continuous Improvement Focus: The emphasis on creating a continuous feedback loop for ongoing refinement of trauma resuscitations.

Integration with Existing Systems: The platform is designed to integrate with existing hospital systems.

Edge computing automation of patient data collection to feed into EHR

Why choose a purpose-built device?

Because consumer smartphones will cost you twice as much.

Over five years, you’ll lose 2.5x in productivity, spend 2.5x more on IT costs and will spend nearly twice as much on the purchase, deployment and support of consumer devices.
