Geolocation and Monitoring Systems for high-risk of high-risk medical patients
Keywords:
Georeferencing of patients, patient monitoring, GPSAbstract
The ability to georeference patients in emergency situations (eg in case of a heart attack) would give emergency
services valuable minutes that could mean the difference between life and death. Miniaturization and portability of
sensors and GPS transmitters facilitate this task. The operating system must generate an emergency alarm through
the device worn by the patient either by his wishes to operate a panic button or automatically by detecting abnormal
changes in vital signs. The paper addresses both the state of the art geolocation systems such as patient monitoring
systems, automated vital signs to determine the degree of viability.
