      ab: Introduction: Prompt and effective combat casualty care is essential for decreasing morbidity and mortality during military operations. Similarly, accurate documentation of injuries and treatments enables quality care, both in the immediate postinjury phase and the longer-term recovery. This article describes efforts to prototype a Military Medic Smartphone (MMS) for use by combat medics and other health care providers who work in austere environments.Materials and Methods: The MMS design builds on previous electronic health record systems and is based on observations of medic workflows. It provides several functions including a compact yet efficient physiologic monitor, a communications device for telemedicine, a portable reference library, and a recorder of casualty care data from the point of injury rearward to advanced echelons of care. Apps and devices communicate using an open architecture to support different sensors and future expansions.Results: The prototype MMS was field tested during live exercises to generate qualitative feedback from potential users, which provided significant guidance for future enhancements.Conclusions: The widespread deployment of this type of device will enable more effective health care, limit the impact of battlefield injuries, and save lives.
