Technical note: A mobile collaborative workspace to assist forensic experts in disaster victim identification scenarios Rodríguez Domínguez, Carlos Márquez Ruiz, Ana Belén Garrido Bullejos, José Luis Benghazi Akhlaki, Kawtar González Herrera, Lucas Valenzuela Garach, Aurora Disaster victim identification (DVI) Forensic data management Mobile systems Collaborative applications Real-time communication Integrated approaches to disaster victim identification (DVI) management have led to a need for technologies to improve interaction among parties involved in post-mortem (PM) and ante-mortem (AM) data collection through better communication and coordination. Mobile Forensic Workspace© (MFW) is a collaborative mobile system that not only facilitates the systematic collection of high-quality data, but also allows DVI professionals to coordinate activities and exchange data through secure real-time communication at major disaster scenarios in accordance with security, privacy and legal protocols. MFW is adaptable to any communication format (text, voice calls, photographs, etc.) and is dynamically self-reconfigurable when connectivity problems arise. It also allows data integration and backup through secure communication channels between local and remote servers. The feasibility of the system has been demonstrated through implementation of MFW on the iOS platform for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad terminals. A further strength of MFW is that it provides out-of-the-box support for INTERPOL DVI forms. The application of information and communication technologies for DVI was shown to be useful in improving DVI management by enhancing the quality of data collection and enabling non-Internet dependent real-time data sharing and communication. 2023-02-14T12:44:57Z 2023-02-14T12:44:57Z 2023-02-10 info:eu-repo/semantics/article https://hdl.handle.net/10481/79937 eng http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional
