Description

TraumaHawk is an app developed in collaboration with the University of Iowa National Advanced Driving Simulator and the Iowa Department of Transportation to help reduce casualties from vehicular accidents.

I developed a web service to store and display crash reports from a corresponding iOS application. Preliminary results showed that when TraumaHawk was not used to communicate, doctors had about 12 minutes of lead-time to prepare for a crash victim. But, when TraumaHawk was used, that lead time was more than doubled, providing doctors with patient details and photos an average of 26 minutes before a crash victim arrived.
