Rescue Operators' Perspectives on KIRETT Wearable Technology: A Qualitative Study

Abstract

In emergencies, treatment needs to be fast, accu-rate and patient-specific. For instance, in emergency scenarios, obstacles like treatment environments and medical difficulties can lead to bad outcomes for patients. Additionally, a drastic change of health vitals can force paramedics to shift to a different treatment in the ongoing treatment of the patient in order to save a patient's life. The KIRETT (engl.: 'Artificial intelligence in rescue operations') demonstrator is developed to provide a rescue operator with a wrist-worn device, enabling treatment recommendation (with the help of knowledge graph) with situation detection models to improve the emergency treatment of a patient. This paper aims to provide a qualitative evaluation of the 2-days testing in the KIRETT project with the focus of knowledge graphs, knowledge fusion, and user-experience-design (UX-design).
