Study of Mobile Emergency Monitoring Prototype System

Abstract

In 2004, accidents remained the top 5th reason of death in Taiwan. How to promptly provide emergency medical technicians (EMTs) with usable information became an important issue in promoting emergency health care efficiency. We try to construct a mobile emergency monitoring system to assist EMTs to access the historical medical records related to the patient and transmit the patient’s bio-signal information back to the emergency department to provide the physician with sufficient information so that he may instruct and assist EMTs to handle some complex situations. The system integrates information technology, wireless network and emergency health information, and transmits patients’ information between the client site and server site through WLAN. With the synchronization control server we can still handle and store patients’ data at the client site when the wireless network is not available in order to synchronize patient’s data when the system is reconnected to the wireless network.
