Key Points

Evaluate the feasibility and usability of a Combat Medical Early Warning System during simulated mass casualty scenarios in a naval setting.
Conducted a prospective observational pilot study on a French Navy ship during a naval LSCO simulation.
Integrated OXYFLEX biosensors with a trauma-adapted early warning score.
Monitored physiological data from 22 simulated casualties with assessments of data quality and usability scores.
79% valid data acquisition from biosensors, indicating technical feasibility under operational conditions.
Heart rate measurements had the highest valid data rate at 91.2%; respiratory rate was the lowest at 59.6%.
Usability feedback was positive, with high SUS and favorable comments on ease of use and situational awareness.
