Paramedic Dean Brown is the brains behind an app named 'Triage Plus' which would eradicate issues with providing real-time information to agencies and services during mass casualty events. He said the events emphasised New Zealand’s ongoing problems with providing real-time information to agencies from the scene of mass incidents. He said a similar system would have made a “huge difference” during the 2011 earthquake and the mosque attack. The first version of the app will be available in August and we’re going to run the trials in September. Then we will look to refine the app using feedback from the trials and move from there.”To view all of the award finalists’ ideas and vote for your favourite, visit: https://tsbgoodstuff.co.nz/peoples-choice/.
