A Wireless Infrastructure for Emergency Medical Care

Abstract

Incorporating new healthcare technologies for emergency cases and elder care will become a major priority in this decade, as medical care systems world-wide become strained by the aging boomer population. In this paper we discuss a wireless infrastructure intended for development in emergency medical care, integrating low power, wireless vital sign sensors, smart phone, GPS and GSM modules. The idea is to deliver the status of patient and location of patient within hospitals and globally. To transfer the data to respective doctor, we are using IoT platform and serial communication methods. By receiving the information, doctor will give his opinion and accordingly forward the information to nurse regarding the prescription of the patient before he arrives.
