Description

The careful supply and logistics to ensure all needs for patients and doctors in Far Forward medical situations are essential for the survival of wounded warfighters and the mitigation of causalities. However well the military's field hospitals are staffed and served, the challenges in a forward operating area are far greater, and require varied, specific solutions. With technology that is familiar, inexpensive, and pervasive, the Army can leverage the recent advances in mobile device technology to address the challenges of far forward medical logistics. The vast majority of mobile devices now feature robust network options, voice recognition, built-in cameras, and ample computational power. Technology Solutions Experts, Inc. (TSE) proposes to design a Far Forward Medical App for Logistics that will capitalize on these technological advances to provide the Army with a significantly simplified means of ordering, tracking, and receiving medical supplies in the field. This plan will enable the Army to build an app that will reduce the effort required by personnel in a life-saving endeavor; personnel that are often stressed for time, so lessening the burden of handling logistics and supply by shifting to a familiar and easy-to-use system will improve results for all.
