<p>Deaf or hearing loss is a condition of inability to hear something, either totally or partially. Hearing loss greatly affects the life of a person in communicating with the people around him. Deaf people will be very difficult when in a medical emergency, this is because the medical emergency situation requires fast action.</p><p>          The Healthy Phone application is a mobile medical emergency call application that can help people with hearing impaired when in emergency situations. With the Healthy Phone application, the user only needs to select an icon that suits the situation encountered in touchscreen mobile device then the message will be sent to the nearest hospital.</p>                To search for icons corresponding to emergencies, the User Centered Design (UCD) method is used. This application is very helpful for deaf people because this application does not require audio communication and user location is also sent automatically to the nearest hospital. The results were analyzed using four emergency event scenarios with a total score of 87% and an average user time of less than 0:42 sec indicating that the study was successful in designing a mobile medical emergency call application according to user requirements.

In general, one of the convincing methods to tackle an emergency is to be well-organized and prepared priory. The intention of the study is to analyze the availability of medical emergency procedures and equipment in dental clinics. Also, the aim is to determine the level of awareness, knowledge, perceptions, individual experiences and preparedness of the dental practitioners and dental students for the management of medical emergency situations in their hospitals or clinics. A cross-sectional survey based study was done from April to among 100 dental students in Chennai. The self-structured well-designed questionnaire containing the protocols and emergency procedures followed in their clinic. The questionnaire forms were circulated online through Google forms. The data from all the participants were collected and analyzed through SPSS software. In the present study, it was inferred that the majority of the population are aware about the medical emergencies in dental clinics (99%) and the remaining 1% of the population are not aware of it. The conclusion of this study is that the above statistical analysis about knowledge awareness on recent advances in the treatment of medical emergencies in dental clinics has provided an alarming situation about the capability of dentists to deal with such conditions for the betterment of patients .

Emerging Health Information Technologies (HIT), such as Electronic Health Records (EHR) and Personal Health Records (PHR) systems, facilitate access to and sharing of patients’ medical data in a distributed environment. The privacy protection of medical information is a pressing issue with the use of these medical technologies. In this paper, the authors present a Patient-controlled Privacy Protection Framework, which allows a patient to specify his or her own privacy policies on their own medical data no matter where they are stored. In addition, the authors extend this basic framework to medical emergency situations, where roles and users may not be limited to an organizational boundary. To enforce patient’s privacy policies even in emergency situations, the authors propose the Situation Role-based Privacy Control model and a social network-based user credential discovery method to recommend a situation role to candidate users. The authors present a mobile prototype system and two experiments to show the feasibility of our approach.

In the face of disasters and emergencies, Internet-enabled mobile phones (or ‘Smartphones'), coupled with Web 2.0 social networks are swiftly becoming not only a means to personally chronicle the events being experienced, but are also being used to disseminate information, educate and inform civilians. The aim of the i-Survive project was to investigate the use of mobile social media during recent Australian disaster and emergency situations. Participants in the pilot study were representatives of key community stakeholders in the crisis event. The quantitative and qualitative findings of from the study's survey questionnaire will be discussed in this paper. Participants' extended qualitative responses to the follow up interviews and the digital artefacts contributed will be detailed in two separate papers.

Even today, when over 3.5 billion passengers travel on commercial flights each year, there is confusion about the duties and role of doctors and other licensed medical professionals volunteering to provide assistance to a passenger whose life is in jeopardy, especially when it comes to measures of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the distinctive conditions of an airborne commercial aircraft. There are still no international, standardized guidelines, rulebooks, or instructions applying to all airlines when it comes to training and organizing the cabin crew, equipping emergency medical kits and covering the role of medical professionals volunteering their services in medical emergency situations. The aim of this work was to attempt to solve a common quandary among medical professionals when it comes to airplane travel. Based on the available literature, national and regional guidelines and rulebooks of airlines, in accordance with the ethical and legal principles binding medical professionals, we have attempted to answer the major questions related to cardiopulmonary resuscitation on commercial flights. All aspects are covered ? from a doctor volunteering to provide emergency medical care, through the marshalling of the cabin attendants, the availability of equipment, interaction with the flight captain and the captain?s decision whether to perform an emergency landing, to the possibility of obtaining additional information from medical call centers on the ground and calling medical crews to the nearest airport.

The Uk

The number of emergency admissions to hospital in the UK has been increasing for many years. The cause is multifactorial and relates to increasing population age and associated comorbidity, changes in community medical emergency cover, patient expectations and decreased clinical experience of junior medical staff. Beds occupied by emergency patients within a constrained total lead inevitably to cancellation of procedures for elective patients.
