Public Health Emergency Network based on Mobile Phones
Emergency treatment is the temporary help given to an injured or a sick person before professional medical treatment can be provided. This timely assistance, comprising of simple medical techniques, is most critical to the victims and is, often, life saving.
However, due to the large population and the imperfect emergency system of hospitals in China, it is usually very hard for patients to receive professional emergency treatment in time. Fortunately, any layperson can be trained to administer first aid, which can be carried out using minimal equipments, and basic training in first aid skills has been taught in schools as well as work places widely in China.
Therefore, the target of the project is to lead the public who received emergency training to first aid scenes through phone’s positioning function and information network.
Background
Emergency treatment, comprising of simple medical techniques, is most critical to the victims and is, often, life saving. However, due to the large population and the imperfect emergency system of hospitals in China, delay of ambulances and too long waiting in hospitals are very usual.
Basic idea
Now that basic training in first aid skills has been widely taught in schools and work places in China, it becomes possible to lead the public who received emergency training to first aid scenes.
This form of leading can be achieved through phone’s positioning function and information network
