Imagine you’re taking your father to the hospital because you’ve noticed he’s not doing well. It took a lot of convincing to get him there, and you’re really worried. But when you reach the emergency room, it’s packed with people. Some don’t even have serious problems, but since there aren’t enough doctors, everyone has to wait. Meanwhile, your father is getting worse. Now, imagine this same hospital has a special system that I’m working on. This system helps even a junior doctor or nurse quickly check important signs, like blood pressure and breathing, to figure out who needs help first. It divides patients into three groups: 1. Red: These people need immediate care, like someone who’s struggling to breathe or losing too much blood. 2. Orange: These people are stable for now but still need tests or monitoring to make sure nothing serious is happening. 3. Green: These people have minor issues and can safely wait.

The best part? This triage system uses the same algorithm as the one followed in AIIMS Delhi, one of the most advanced hospitals in India. It ensures that patients are assessed and treated based on their urgency, just like in top-tier hospitals. In my government hospital, we sometimes lose patients because staff might miss danger signs or delays happen in the chaos. A system like this could make a huge difference, saving more lives and making emergency care more effective. I used this site for my reference: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7472824/#ref12 the algorithm can be customised according to the need of the hospital
