D2 Sprint | Documentation and Decision Support
In fast-paced combat operations or mass casualty events, accurate medical documentation and clinical decision support are often sacrificed due to the immediate need to provide lifesaving care. Currently, 75% of pre-hospital combat casualty care is unrecorded.
The D2 Sprint tasks teams from across the country to create AI tools capable of automatically assessing casualties, recommending treatments, guiding care, and seamlessly documenting the process.
