TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Integrating data from motor vehicle crash detection systems of smartphones and wearable digital devices-the future of trauma care JO - JAMA surgery A1 - Scquizzato, Tommaso A1 - Gamberini, Lorenzo A1 - Semeraro, Federico SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) are the leading cause of death due to injury worldwide. Rapid and appropriate treatment of patients involved in MVCs is critical to providing high-quality trauma care and decreasing mortality.1 Triage protocols have been created to identify severely injured patients but are often unreliable, with risks of both undertriage and overtriage.2 Systems installed in many vehicles to detect MVCs and activate emergency medical services (EMS) use sensors to capture collision details and have been shown to be more sensitive and specific in identifying severely injured patients compared with current triage protocols.
