Real-time telemedicine system based on ADLINK MIX-110

For disaster relief operations or emergency medical services (EMS), time is more important than money because it is about life and death. An ambulance equipped with a telemedicine system is one of the best examples of mobile technology saving lives. On the way to the hospital, ambulances can provide real-time patient information through wireless communication technology. At the same time, remote diagnosis and primary care can be realized, which greatly reduces the response time of rescue and wins valuable time for further rescue of patients.

Telemedicine is a concept proposed by the American Telemedicine Association (ATA, American Telemedicine AssociaTIon). It uses electronic communication technology to exchange medical information from one location to another, effectively improving the patient's clinical health.

Telemedicine includes a growing variety of applications and services, such as remote health testing and medical education. In these applications, telemedicine-based ambulances use state-of-the-art automotive electronics and mobile communications technologies with significant time advantages to make critical treatments faster and improve patient survival.

For example, when rescuing a wounded person in a car accident, with the telemedicine system on the ambulance, the vital signs of the injured person (such as ECG, blood pressure, respiratory rate, etc.) can be measured and passed through a wireless communication network (3G). /Wi-Fi) Transfer to the remote hospital headquarters. In addition, a digital camera mounted on an ambulance can take video and transmit it to a remote hospital in real time.

At the remote end, doctors and nurses in the emergency room can receive and view data collected from ambulances using a computer or mobile device (such as a tablet or smartphone) and conduct a preliminary assessment before the patient arrives at the hospital. The emergency room doctor can also magnify the image to observe the patient's wound, discuss the treatment plan with the Emergency Medical Rescue (EMT) on the ambulance, and guide the emergency medical ambulance staff to perform basic treatment and emergency medical services, such as injection. Or provide treatment for fractures.

Emergency personnel and trauma doctors can also be remotely diverted to diagnose and, if necessary, prepare the surgical team before the patient arrives at the hospital. If they determine that the hospital's existing medical resources are not meeting the patient's condition, they can also recommend an alternative medical center to save time in the transfer.

The goal of telemedicine ambulances is to save every minute as much as possible to save lives. For pre-stroke or heart disease patients, such pre-hospital emergency systems are very important. Early diagnosis and treatment can save a patient's life at a critical moment and reduce sequelae.

Telemedicine ambulances are also very valuable for residents in remote areas, because usually the patient's place of residence is still a long way from the hospital. Telemedicine ambulances can be treated and professionally advanced with wireless communication technology. Care.

Application architecture

Ambulance-based ambulances require a rugged computer platform to support multiple onboard wired and wireless devices (including medical devices) and provide wireless connectivity to remote hospitals.

A digital camera must also be installed on the ambulance to record how emergency medical services are managed and to send real-time images of the patient to the hospital. The microphone must also be equipped to facilitate communication between emergency medical aid personnel on the ambulance and hospital doctors.

It is also recommended to deploy GPS, which allows the hospital to locate the ambulance and provide the shortest route to connect the patient to the hospital for treatment as quickly as possible.

In addition to a reliable hardware platform, advanced software is also required to achieve seamless and reliable connectivity when executing many applications.

The telemedicine system must be integrated into the hospital's outpatient information system so that ambulance personnel on the ambulance, hospital doctors and nurses can obtain the patient's medical history at any time to expedite medical diagnosis.

In addition, the patient's latest physiological data and test results can be transmitted to the hospital's information system in real time, avoiding repeated inspections and treatments to speed up patient care.

Features

Remote patient monitor

Patient vital signs data are measured on an ambulance and transmitted to a remote hospital for real-time monitoring and subsequent reference. These data include blood pressure, blood sugar, blood gas and electrocardiogram.

Real-time doctor "remote diagnosis"

Doctors in the hospital can conduct remote initial diagnosis and diversion decisions on the way from the patient to the hospital through real-time voice and video transmission. If necessary, the surgical equipment can be prepared in advance.

Mobile emergency medical services and remote trauma treatment

According to the guidance of emergency room doctors, emergency medical assistance personnel can perform basic treatment and emergency medical services, such as injection or pre-treatment of fractures. Pre-assessment of stroke and intensive care services can also be advanced in advance of critical lifesaving times.

GPS tracking

The in-vehicle GPS system provides unparalleled accuracy in scheduling and navigation, allowing the hospital to re-plan optimal routes to reduce response time.

Electronic Patient Care Report (e-PCR, Electronic paTIent care reporTIng)

The ambulance telemedicine system can transmit important ECG and other patient information to the hospital's information system in real time, establish or update the patient's electronic health report, avoid repeated detection and care procedures, save treatment time and save lives.

Expert recommendation service

Since the patient's information is available before they arrive at the hospital, the hospital can make a triage decision in advance and notify the professional doctor. If the existing resources of the hospital cannot meet the current situation of the patient, the patient can transfer to other hospitals or medical centers in advance to save the transfer time.

ADLINK Technology Solutions

The ADLINK MIX-110 is a small industrial computer (234.4mm x 191.2mm x 56.6mm) that is a low-power, rugged mechanical system with a rich I/O interface. It can be used to connect various devices onboard, ensuring wired and wireless connectivity, making it ideal for deployment on telemedicine ambulances.

The MIX-110's rich I/O capabilities include GPS modules for real-time vehicle positioning, 3G and Wi-Fi modules for wireless communications, and a mini-PCIe expansion slot for video applications.

Ambulances usually save lives in high-speed motion, so the telemedicine system must have a reliable wireless data connection. ADLINK MIX-110 also provides Wi-Fi network and high-bandwidth mobile cellular network connection to ensure the reliability of network connection.

System integrators can develop application software independently, either from a third party or use an ApplicaTIon-Ready solution from ADLINK.
