Digital TCCC Card

Project Description:
In high-intensity combat zones, military medics face immense challenges in documenting and transmitting critical patient data. The Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) card, currently used by the US military and NATO, is essential for recording injuries and treatments in the field. However, its paper-based format is prone to loss, damage, and delays in data transmission, leading to inefficiencies in medical response and treatment continuity.
Through interviews with US military personnel, we learned that 8 times out of 10, the TCCC card gets lost during evacuation, resulting in critical medical data not reaching the hospital in time. Our solution digitizes this process to enhance speed, accuracy, and integration with modern medical infrastructure
Our solution is a ruggedized military iPad application that digitizes the TCCC card through AI-powered image recognition and voice-to-text processing eliminating the inefficiencies of paper-based documentation.
