Modern Times

In these modern times where the technologies is evolving every day. In order to cope up with the need of proper ambulance services during medical emergency situation, an android mobile application named Jeevan Jyoti is introduced which will aim successful booking of ambulance with required medical support both in the ambulance and from the hospital. Mobile application is a growing and in-demand technology because of its easier accessibility and feasibility to remind users about the upcoming updates with the help of push notification. This idea approaches a system where whenever a request for ambulance is raised, it sends that request to all the nearby hospital(s) along with the parameters such as ambulance type, number of casualties, symptoms, medical report, etc. To expand this system, IoT is added which will help the doctor monitor the vital stats such as pulse rate and temperature of the patient continuously while the ambulance is en-route to the hospital.

<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.

ObjectivesTo explore what factors shape a service user’s decision to call an emergency ambulance for a ‘primary care sensitive’ condition (PCSC), including contextual factors. Additionally, to understand the function and purpose of ambulance care from the perspective of service users, and the role health professionals may play in influencing demand for ambulances in PCSCs.DesignAn ethnographic study set in one UK ambulance service. Patient cases were recruited upon receipt of ambulance treatment for a situation potentially manageable in primary care, as determined by a primary care clinician accompanying emergency medical services (EMS) crews. Methods used included: structured observations of treatment episodes; in-depth interviews with patients, relatives and carers and their GPs; purposeful conversations with ambulance clinicians; analysis of routine healthcare records; analysis of the original EMS ‘emergency’ telephone call recording.ResultsWe analysed 170 qualitative data items across 50 cases. Three cross-cutting concepts emerged as central to EMS use for a PCSC: (1) There exists a typology of nine ‘triggers’, which we categorise as either ‘internal’ or ‘external’, depending on how much control the caller feels they have of the situation; (2) Calling an ambulance on behalf of someone else creates a specific anxiety about urgency; (3) Healthcare professionals experience conflict around fuelling demand for ambulances.ConclusionsPrevious work suggests a range of sociodemographic factors that may be associated with choosing ambulance care in preference to alternatives. Building on established sociological models, this work helps understand how candidacy is displayed during the negotiation of eligibility for ambulance care. Seeking urgent assistance on behalf of another often requires specific support and different strategies. Use of EMS for such problems—although inefficient—is often conceptualised as ‘rational’ by service users. Public health strategies that seek to advise the public about appropriate use of EMS need to consider how individuals conceptualise an ‘emergency’ situation.

Abstract Background: Pre-hospital process is important criteria which helps patients in term of treatment performance before admitting to Emergency Department (ED) or requesting from an emergency unit. The existing system to triage patients in Thailand is not practically functioning in the primary medical or pre-hospital treatment in term of speeding, feature, or appropriate system. There is a high possibility for misrepresenting false Initial Dispatch Code (IDC), which causes the requirement of over or under emergency resources, such as rescuers and teams, community hospitals and emergency medical volunteers. Methods: In the development, usability system design has been applied to gather with system reliability test, to support the pre-hospital processes especially to sort patients by using IDC for requesting emergency resources. The development of triage mobile application has been conducted on both iOS and Android operating systems for supporting triage patient habits based on the CBD protocol. The 25 main symptom categories covered by CBD were used to design and develop the application, and 12 emergency medical staffs including doctors and nurses are subjected to test the system in the following aspects: triage protocol correction, triage reliability, usability and users’ practical satisfaction. Results: The development result shows the comparison between the proposed triage application and staff experience. Triage reliability test implies that the time used to triage by experienced staffs, in many cases, is slower than using the application. For the usability test, the result shows that the application functions are more effective in terms of the increment of emergency operations and correction of IDC code represented. Conclusions: The triage application will be utilized to support the pre-hospital process and to classify patient habits before admitting patients to ED. The application can be suitable for user who are not medical emergency staff. Patients with non-trauma symptoms may be a suitable group to use the application in term of time used to identify IDC for their own symptoms. In term of using the application, it can possibly provide benefits to general people who want to self-identify their symptoms before requesting medical services.

AbstractThis proposal presents an optimized, efficient and secure system designed to improve healthcare staff management in emergency situations through a complete tool to classify victims in a emergency situation according the severity of their condition, providing at the same time their location and the best route to reach them. The developed tool consists on a mobile application (assigned to medical and healthcare staff), a web service and Near Field Communication tags (assigned to victims). The mobile application supports secure communication among health staff and implements triage algorithms which result is stored in NFC tags. Apart from this, it helps to indicate which should be the next victim to be treated. The developed web service provides a global view of the emergency status and the current position of victims and staff. Data security is a key objective, overall in health applications; for this reason, tokens are used to protect the triage results before being stored in NFC tags, and the use of IDentity-Based Signcryption provides confidentiality and authentication to communications. Two different signcryption methods are used depending on the communication mode (peer-to-peer or broadcast mode).

Abstract Background : Before patients are admitted into the emergency department, it is important to undertake a pre-hospital process, both in terms of treatment performance and a request for resources from an emergency unit. The existing system to triage patients in Thailand is not functioning to its full capacity in either the primary medical system or pre-hospital treatment with shortcomings in the areas of speed, features, and appropriate systems. There is a high possibility of issuing a false Initial Dispatch Code (IDC), which will cause the over- or under-utilisation of emergency resources, such as rescue teams, community hospitals and emergency medical volunteers. Methods : A usability system design, together with a reliability test, was applied to develop an application to optimise the pre-hospital process, specifically to sort patients, using an IDC to improve the request for emergency resources. The triage mobile application was developed on both iOS and Android operating systems to support patient triage based on Criteria Based Dispatch (CBD). The 25 main symptom categories covered by CBD were used to design and develop the application, and 12 emergency medical staff, including doctors and nurses, were asked to test the system in the aspects of triage protocol correction, triage reliability, usability and user satisfaction. Results : The results of testing the proposed triage application were compared with the time used to triage by experienced staff and it was found that, in non-trauma cases, it was faster and more effective to use the application for emergency operations and to correct the IDC code representation. Conclusions : The triage application will be utilised to support the pre-hospital process and to classify patients’ conditions before they are admitted to the Emergency Department (ED). The application is suitable for users who are not medical emergency staff. Patients with non-trauma symptoms may be a suitable group to use the application in terms of time used to identify IDC for their own symptoms. The use of the application can be beneficial for those who wish to self-identify their symptoms before requesting medical services.

AbstractBuilding evacuation training systems and training employees in an organization have a vital role in emergency cases in which people need to know what to do exactly. In every building, procedures, rules, and actions are attractively shown on the walls, but most of the people living in that building are not aware of these procedures and do not have any experience what to do in these dangerous situations. In order to be able to apply these procedures properly in an emergency situation, community members should be trained with the state-of-the-art equipment and technologies, but to do so, up-front investment and development of such a system are necessary. In this study, augmented reality (AR) technology was applied to realize a game-based evacuation training system that implements gamification practices. The architectural plans of a university were used to model the floors and the relevant environment. Employees are trained to learn how to reach the nearest exit location in the event of a fire or earthquake, and also, the system provides the shortest path for the evacuation. In addition to these features, our training game has educational animations about the fire, chemical attack, and earthquake events. A mobile application was implemented to train employees working in the building and inform them to know how to escape in an emergency situation. The technology acceptance model and the related questionnaire form were applied, and the response of 36 participants was analyzed. It was demonstrated that AR and relevant tools provide a flexible environment to develop evacuation systems in a university, our mobile application enabled participants to be trained in a realistic environment, and trainees were highly satisfied with the system. Educational animations were also another benefit for the trainees.

Intodays world, Mobile application plays a very important role to process any type of data in hand. The mobile application is mainly developed for the drivers to work in mobile devices and to run on tablets and smart phones. These applications are used for various purposes like web browsing, calendar, buying music, gaming, traveling, entertainment, social networking and productivity. The mobile applications differ from the integrated software systems found in Personal Computers by its isolated functionality. The motor Car belongs to the mechanical world, and the functionality is not aware by all the drivers, thus it becomes a difficult one to handle it. In the existing system, there is no diagnostic system launched in mobile application for the drivers to find the minor problems in each and every car. There is only a manual book given to the drivers for motorcar by the manufacturer to see how to start a car and the parts of the car are given in detail. There is nothingmentioned about the minor problems that happens in the motorcar and the solution to recover it.To overcome the problems faced by the Drivers on the road and to help them in emergency situation, a Self Detection and recovery system is proposed for the Drivers, especially for the Learning drivers to detect the minorproblems in the vehicles and also to recover from those problems by using this automized smart system. Through this smart mobile application, the driver can find solutions for all the minor problems faced in the motorcar. The driver will be aware of exact fault and the driver can take necessary action accordingly. The proposed system acts as a good driver friendly interface for any Driver to detect the minor problem easily by using the alert signals and also to recover from these problems easily by searching through the terms, which usually denote the type of the problem and it accordingly find out the solutions, which would be highly helpful to proceed without interruption. The proposed system a low cost application wherein the driver has to sign up and find the solutions to the problems. This mobile application is secured because only the authorized driver can login and see the solutions but not by anyone else. This application gives the correct and exact solution to all the minor problems encountered by the mobile driver.
