Abstract
This study proposed a Context-Aware emergeNcy rEmedy system (CANE), based on the operations of a real hospital, to provide complete and convenient functions for emergency processes and medical consultants using mobile communication networks. The CANE system combines emergency medical services with GIS/GPS technology, mobile multimedia communications and context-aware controls. The CANE system largely focuses on allowing the EMT personnel to arrive at the accident location in the shortest possible time and give first aid the proposed dispatching procedure and the GPS/GIS location-aware service. When an ambulance is on the way to the specified hospital, the EMT can deliver the patient’s symptoms, including the data of the medical equipment and the audios/videos of the patient, to the hospital doctor via the personal communication network, e.g., GPRS. Based on real-time multimedia information, a physician can recommend to EMT the most suitable treatment for the patient on the way to the hospital.
