Abstract |
Various sources report a low adoption of IT-based tools in emergency response, as well as a negative attitude of
responders to such tools. The responders? needs, simply put, are not met by the IT-based tools offered to them.
Observing this situation through a user-centered design lens, we note that such problems typically stem from
insufficient or erroneous context analysis. The deficiencies become even more pronounced when considering that
emergency response represents a complex, adaptive socio-technical system. We also note that the appropriate
methodology for designing ER systems is rarely discussed in literature and in research papers. To fill that void, the
present paper discusses a minimal set of techniques that, both in our experience and according to state of the art
practice, can guide developers towards positively-accepted IT systems for emergency response. |

Abstract |
Emergency responders' attitude to IT is marked by resistance, aversity, and rejection. This does not extend to technology in general and is specific to IT alone. Current research on the topic only presents partial, scattered, and unconnected accounts that do not provide a starting point on how to tackle this attitude. The available models for technology acceptance are also generic and do not take into account the specifics of the emergency response domain. Through extensive user research combined with a grounded theory approach, this paper identifies twelve problem areas from which responders' negative attitude towards IT arises. By extending the technology acceptance models with this new knowledge, we provide system designers with an understanding of what to tackle and tune in their IT system designs so that a positive attitude among emergency responders can be achieved. |

Abstract |
As of 26 December 2016, seventeen electronic triage systems for disaster triage have been proposed in the ACM, IEEE, and ISCRAM publication databases. Most of these systems have remained inside the laboratory; the rest have disappeared entirely. Responders still prefer to do triage with paper tags from the 1960's, while no research has been presented on why the proposed e-triage systems have not found acceptance and use in the field. Based on exhaustive literature research and on the findings from the four-year long, EU research project BRIDGE , this paper presents e-triage acceptance dimensions, analyzes the main reasons why proposed systems have been rejected, and guides designers towards upcoming, well-accepted e-triage systems. |
