Peak Response Unifies Communication and Patients at Cape Cod Airport

Peak Response Unifies Communication and Patients at Cape Cod Airport

December 16

On a drizzly, overcast night on September 26, 2024, first responders and volunteer victims gathered on the tarmac at Cape Cod Airport in Barnstable, Massachusetts for the triennial Full Scale Emergency Exercise. This year, Peak Response was put through its paces in the mass casualty incident (MCI) simulation lane, allowing firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, and hospital staff to experience how real-time situational awareness data from Internet-connected devices on scene can enhance emergency response and coordination.

Our Story

Dedicated to providing life saving efficiency.

Peak Response (formerly NaTriage) was initially conceptualized in 2019 as part of the Tech to Protect Challenge, sponsored by NIST PSCR, aimed at fostering technological innovation for emergency responders. The solution came out of a focus on a common pain point: time spent documenting injuries and incidents at the scene of mass casualty incidents. These incidents are chaotic, high-pressure environments where time spent documenting can mean the difference between life and death.
