Enhanced recording of rescue events
Techniques for generating and updating electronic records of rescue events are described. In a rescue scene, a medical device monitors and/or treats a patient. An example tracking device determines an identifier of the medical device by analyzing a signal corresponding to a medical device. In addition, the tracking device identifies a physiological parameter of the patient. The tracking device generates an electronic record of the patient that includes the identifier and the physiological parameter. The tracking device further outputs the electronic record.
