DESCRIPTION

EMERGENCY AID DATA WATCH

Subject of the Invention

This invention relates to a versatile electronic emergency aid data device intended to serve for the human health, enabling the pulse, blood pressure and location information of the user to be accessed by utilizing GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) , GPS (Global Positioning System) , Wireless technology, as well as showing the time and calendar information, the user' s health information and the power level of the device, by means of the display it includes.

Background Art

Today, with GMS, GPS and Wireless technologies being widely used in every field, there is a system being employed, which enables to notify the related Medical Center during emergencies, as in the case with the present invention, stores the user' s files available with different health institutions merged in the form of a single file, and provides the transmission of the health information associated with the user and the data pertaining to the measurements taken, in cases of emergency.

In the patent no. US 2003/149526, a system is mentioned, which integrates the wireless communication, wireless localization and sensor technologies. As in the system according to the present invention, said system also comprises such members as sensor, main controller, wireless receiver-transmitter. However, this system comprises a different technology. In said system, the measurement values and location information received from the sensor is maintained in ASP (Application Server Provider) , that is, ASP acts as a bridge between the user and the product according to the invention. For example, an emergency case determined in the user bearing the system according to the invention is communicated through ASP to the user of the system via many different means including mobile phone, telephone, PDA

(Personal Digital Assistant), voice message, SMS. This system may be used by the persons having a patient to take care of, in order to keep the status of the patient under control, also by the families wishing to maintain their children under surveillance or by the companies wishing to continuously monitor the actions of their employees. However, as will be seen, said system is set up to measure the desired parameters and is used for the purpose of keeping certain persons under surveillance, and the feature of contacting any medical institution and such technical system are not available. In case of emergency, only the persons that request to be aware of the user, e.g. a nurse and the family of the child under monitoring, are informed about the status and the location of the person. In addition, in order for the persons with no direct access to the system to reach the measured values or the location information, they are required to get in contact with the call center. The measured parameter or the location information of the person being monitored is transmitted via ASP to the user.

On the other hand, in the device according to the invention, unlike the afore-described system, all the user data maintained at different medical institutions are collected in a single system and, upon the receipt of an emergency call from the device, the connection with the Emergency Aid Center is utilized to send a signal to the ambulance, which is situated closest to the person and is capable of intervention. It is possible to directly access all the personal information stored in the memory unit of the device, by the use of the wireless technology. There is no need left for a different procedure for data transfer.

Detailed Description of the Invention

During the collection of the personal information when supplying the device according to the invention, the files that belong to the person and are available with different medical organizations and institutions are combined into a single file. The collected information are recorded in the information center and the memory of the device, according to the standards stipulated by the World Health Organization. The information the record of which are to be maintained may be listed as follows: a) The identification information of the person b) The medical institution the person is enrolled with and the register number of the person c) Person's blood type and the contact information of the persons able to donate blood for the person d) Chronic disorders and the previous illnesses of the person, if any e) Information about the previous surgical operations the person was subjected to, if any f) Information about the person's allergic status g) The drugs continuously used by the person, if any h) Contact information of the person' s doctor i) Family members and friends to be contacted in order to give notice about the health situation in case of temporary unconsciousness suffered by the person, and the contact information of such persons j ) The previous family information for the person k) The hospital registry information associated with the donated organs, in case of the person having officially donated organs 1) Information of the habits of the person, such as smoking, alcohol, etc.

It is also possible to save -different information to the device, other than the above-listed. After the device is supplied, said information is sent by the Information Center to the device, via GSM network.

The purpose for using the device is to enable the authorized persons to reach the user within the shortest time possible once the medical condition of the user deteriorates and to aid the authorized persons in the stage of accurate diagnosis-treatment, by providing important information about the user.

The device according to the invention comprises in general the Display Unit (13), Memory Unit (14, 15), GSM Unit (19), GPS Unit (18), Sensor Unit (21), Cord Unit (10) and Wireless Unit (20). The circuit members present in these sections and the other portions are as follows :

Below are the primary circuit members present in the device: Display Unit (13) circuit members include Oled Display Chip, DC/DC Voltage Regulator; Memory Unit circuit members include Quick Flash (14), Static RAM (15); GSM Unit (19) circuit members include GSM/DCS/PCS multi band transceiver, multi band GSM-GPRS power amplifier controller, intermediate frequency filter, GSM antenna; GPS Unit (18) circuit members include GPS chip antenna, GPS signal booster, GPS receiver; Sensor Unit (21) circuit members include pressure sensor, analog digital converter; Wireless Unit (20) circuit members include Wireless antenna, Wireless transceiver; Sound Unit (16) circuit members include sound chip, sound output amplifier; as well as bluetooth headphone and for other portable applications, single-chip charge controller (24), RF transceiver (17), camera (7), step motor (23), Solar Panel (27), Super capacitor (26), Li-Ion battery (25) and main controller (22) .

The camera (7) located on the device sends the static or dynamic image recorded for a certain period of time or without any time limitation, as a data file in compressed video format (.mpeg4, .3gp, etc.) to the Information Center, through GPRS. The image arriving from the Information Center is received by the Streaming Media Server.

Operating Principle of the Device :

The Emergency Aid Data Watch is operated by means of the on/off button (1) located thereon. While the watch initiates its operation, it first loads the operating system running on the same.

After the loading process for the operating system, the device checks for the presence of the factors that will impede its operation and in case there is a problem, it notifies the user about the problem and sets itself to the passive mode. While in this mode, the watch operates in a manner that there will only be a warning message appearing on the display. The watch does not perform any measurement. If there is not any problem, the device starts the time, alarm, calendar features, which are its classical functions. The operating logic of the Emergency Aid Data Watch comprises a comparison of the measurement values specifically determined for the person, with the values it measures by means of the sensors (21) . The previous measurement have a very considerable contribution in this comparison process. The embedded software runs based on fuzzy logic. It may perform inferences related to the instantaneous measurements based on the statistical information, and may also use these inferences for the future measurements.

The measurement values determined specifically for the person are stored in the database present on the device. Such information, which will bear importance in case of an emergency, are obtained from the Medical Institutions where the user previously received treatment, by means of a form to be handed to the user at the time the user procures the watch, and are sent to the Information Center. The Information Center, following its receipt of such information in a complete manner from said medical institution, it transmits the same to the Emergency Aid Data Watch.

In case the information peculiar for the person has not yet been loaded to the database, the data watch will not perform the measurement processes for the pulse, blood pressure, pulse intensity (pulse rate) and pulse rhythm. Once said information is loaded to the device, the measurements start. The values measured by means of the sensors (21) are analyzed by the embedded software running on the device, the person's pulse values, systolic and diastolic blood pressure ranges, pulse rate and pulse rhythm are read from the database and comparisons are made. After the comparison process, the watch checks the condition of the user and decides whether there is an emergency. In case there is no emergency, the device saves these measurements in the database and continues with its standard operation. In case of a possible emergency, such recorded information is sent to the Information Center in an instant manner or in hourly periods.

In case an emergency exists, the device obtains the information about its current location by means of the GPS satellite, then forms a package including the measurement values of the person, the user identification information and watch identification information, and sends this package to the Information Center. After this point, the watch stops sending emergency signal such that it will not continuously disturb the Information Center. The information that has reached at the Information Center and the medical information pertaining to the patient that might be of help during the treatment are transferred to the relevant Emergency Aid Center. Owing to the software available in the Emergency Aid Center, the location of the patient and the ambulance that is nearest to the patient are determined. Owing to the PDA's with GPS and GPRS technologies available in all the ambulances, the information about the location of the patient to enable the ambulance to reach the patient and the patient' s brief history and the previous medical information, which may be helpful for the executive in the ambulance during the first aid, are sent to the ambulance. Upon the arrival of the medical unit at the patient's location, the unit members press the data transfer button (2) on the watch, in order to transfer the measurements taken during the period since the instant of emergency to their handheld computers. PDA shows the measurement information along with the information that bears importance for the patient, and provides the speed and advantage for the medical unit with regards the first aid. The selection of the medical institution to which the patient is to be delivered is made by the executives in the ambulance. This selection may comprise a medical institution, which is closest to the ambulance location and is in possession of the technical equipment and authority with the capability of delivering the therapy for the patient, as well as an institution that may be reached depending on a previous or instant request of the patient. As soon as the patient has been conveyed to the medical institution, the data transfer button (2) on the watch is pressed, thereby transferring also the most recent measurement values. Following this process, the watch informs the Information Center and switches to the idle mode. In this mode, only the alarm, calendar and time functions are operative. The watch turns off the communication process. The information that the idle mode has been switched to also means that the patient has been delivered to the medical institution.

The device whose manner of operation has been briefly explained above has two different operating modes. One of these is the active operating mode, and the second is the idle mode. In the active operation mode, the watch may send Emergency Aid Data Signal in two ways. The signal is realized upon the determination of a dangerous condition following the pulse and blood pressure measurement combinations peculiar to the person or upon pressing the emergency aid button (4) located on the watch. The idle mode becomes activated upon the user pressing the idle mode button (3) or once the information transfer is complete from the devices to the medical institutions for the persons to be subjected to the treatment in relevant medical institutions .

Owing to the sensor unit (21) it houses, the device measures the pulse and/or the blood pressure of the user according to the measurement frequency defined in the user profile. The measurements are performed by a collaborative operation of the sensor (21) and the cord unit (10) , as stipulated by the software. The cord (10) squeezes the arm until reaching a level at which the measurement of pulse and/or blood pressure is possible, and it assumes its original position after the measurement. The results of measurement are transferred to the main controller (22) , and here they are evaluated within the information range of personal pulse and blood pressure previously stored in the memory. Such information stored in the memory could comprise the pulse and/or blood pressure graphs peculiar to the person, which are periodically formed by the pulse and/or blood pressure information obtained from the person until that moment. After the evaluation, the embedded software decides whether or not there is a critical condition concerning the health of the user. In case the health of the user does not exhibit a dangerous condition, the obtained measurement information will still be stored in the memory so that it will provide guidance in another situations, and, said stored information will be sent at predetermined intervals to the Information Center via GSM network. Information is in turn transferred from the Information Center to the Information Backup and Recovery Center for backup process. In case there is an emergency involved, in other words, the pulse and/or blood pressure information obtained indicates a deterioration in the patient's health, the watch sends a vibrating or voice alarm to the user in a graded manner. In case of the user feeling no need for a medical aid, he/she informs to the effect that he/she has seen the warning and he/she does not request help. In case the user needs help, he/she presses the emergency aid button (4) to issue a call. In case the user does not reply within a predetermined time period the alarms sent, the main controller (22) prepares to send an emergency data signal. First of all, the location information is received from GPS satellite and the location information is continuously updated until reaching the patient. The location information that is received by the GPS antenna present in the device is sent to the main controller (22) . The main controller (22) renders the user' s pulse and blood pressure information and the location information into an information package. It transmits the information package to the GSM antenna which is also located inside the device, and communicates the same to the Information Center via the GSM network. Whether said information package that has reached the Information Center is a routine pulse and/or blood pressure information sent on an hourly basis or is an emergency information is detected by the software in the Information Center. The software first backups the incoming information, and then transfers the patient critical condition information that it has received to the Emergency Aid Center. The software running at the Emergency Aid Center determines the ambulances that are close to the patient in the first degree, second degree and third degree. First of all, the emergency data signal is sent to the ambulances close to the patient in the first degree. In case no reply is received to the effect that these acknowledge to reach the patient, the signal transmission process is continued within the predetermined time first towards the ambulances close to the patient in the second degree, then to the ambulances close to the patient in the third degree, until the acknowledgement reply is received from any of these.

Following the receipt of the acknowledgement reply, the information about the cancellation of the signal is sent by the Emergency Aid Center to the ambulances other than the particular ambulance that has sent the acknowledgement reply. The Emergency Aid Center transfers the user' s location and medical information to the PDA of the ambulance from which it has received the acknowledgement reply. Also, the ambulance is waited to select a suitable institution with the help of the software running on the PDA that is involved in the intervention for the patient. Again, the identity and medical information of the patient is transferred to the selected institution. The patient's updated location, pulse and blood pressure information is sent to the ambulance to get to the patient, until the patient is reached. Besides these, the information that might be of help during the stages of diagnosis and treatment, such as the brief history of the person and the family history, are also transmitted to the relevant institution, where the medical action will be taken for the patient. It is also possible to provide information about the issue to the relatives of the patient and the family doctor.

The first aid crew reaching the patient may obtain the patient' s latest pulse and blood pressure information from the watch, via the wireless technology. The information transfer from the watch to PDA is achieved by pressing the information transfer button (2) and entering the user password sent by the Information Center. In order to understand whether the ambulance delivering the patient to the relevant medical institution has arrived at the hospital, the information is sent to the Emergency Aid Center when the ambulance arrives at the hospital. During this period, in case the ambulance is in a condition in which it will be unable to communicate the patient to the medical institution, it transfers information to the Information Center to notify that another ambulance should take action. In respect of the patient who has been delivered to the medical institution, the medical and location information is not taken until the patient is discharged; the patient is in this case under the responsibility of the relevant institution. For this, the device, having transferred the information to the relevant medical institution, switches itself to the idle mode as adjusted by the software. While in the idle mode, the device does not perform the pulse or blood pressure measurement, does not receive the location information from GPS satellite, does not utilize the GSM service and does not utilize the wireless technology. In short, it operates like a classical watch. While the user is being discharged, the watch is switched back to the active operating mode by pressing the toggle idle mode button (3) .

The idle mode is used under such circumstances in which the user does not wish to send the location, pulse and blood pressure information to the Information Center or in which the sending of such information by the user might result in misleading information. Such circumstances are those in which certain sporting activities are performed, it is not desired to send an emergency data signal after reaching the patient or it will not be possible to utilize the GSM service. In addition, the user may set the duration of this mode and the watch may issue a warning at the end of the duration. Further, if the duration determined by the user has expired and the user fails to remove the watch out of the idle mode despite the warnings issued, the relatives of the user may be informed accordingly.

Owing to the technologies employed in the device, it is also possible to provide service to the users in the other fields. For example, based on an application submitted by the families or relatives of Alzheimer patients, the persons with mental disorder, etc., the location information may be accessed via the patient' s data watch, upon the permission obtained from the relevant organizations and institutions, thus the location of the users who has been lost or kidnapped may be determined.

Thanks to having a heat-resistant structure and being made of a water-impermeable material, which are the two important characteristics intended to attain for the device, the device may also be used for different purposes. For example, in cases of fire and severe traffic accidents, difficulty is encountered in the determination of the person' s identity, it being possible to reach the identity information only after intensive and time consuming efforts by the medical jurisprudence institutions. In such incidents, it is possible to achieve the identity determinations in a much faster manner owing to the heat-resistant device according to the invention, and as a natural outcome of this capability, the burden of the medical jurisprudence institutions may be considerably decreased.

The device is open to international implementations. The access to the medical information of the people may be provided by way of integration with the countries where the system is applied. A person, who travels among the countries where the same system is in practice and utilizes the Emergency Aid Data Watch, may obtain service from the health organizations and institutions that render this service. Consequently, it will be easier to determine the identity of the foreign patients, and also, it will be possible to access the medical information kept in the registry of the patient's home country and the information associated with the patient's health insurance.

In cases where the GSM network service is not possible, the identity of the user and the medical information stored in his/her device may be accessed by way of detecting the signals arriving from the watches of the users situated in a certain region, by means of a zone scanner. The device according to the invention provides the ability to speed up the life rescue operations in such cases as the confinement under a landslide, confinement under an avalanche, confinement due to an earthquake, etc. This is achieved by means of the wireless technology available in the device.

Owing to the technologies it possesses, this device provides for the ability to eliminate the inconvenience of paperwork during the procedures to be undertaken in the medical institutions and organizations (routine examinations, emergency interventions, diagnosis-treatment procedures, procurement of medicines from the pharmacies, etc.) . By means of a system to be established within the relevant medical institutions, it will be possible to transfer the medical information stored in the device identity and memory to the institution via the wireless technology, and it will be possible to carry out all the procedures from the stage of reception to the institution through the procurement of medications from the pharmacies, by means of the system.

One of the most significant factors that hamper the daily flow of our lives is forgetfulness, and this condition becomes more delicate when the administration of the medicines is considered. For this reason, the device according to the invention also enables the information, which indicates to a person the medicine to be used, time of administration and the dose to be used, to be determined and transferred by the authorized persons. The device may arrange the timing of such information in the form of an alarm, in order to warn the user.

Data Transfer Processes:

Data transfer processes are divided into two, namely the short distance data transfer and long distance data transfer. Wireless technology is used in the short distance data transfer process. In the long distance data transfer process,

GPRS technology is used.

Short distance data transfer processes:

• Emergency Aid Data Watch - PDA • Emergency Aid Data Watch - Medical Institution' s Computer

Long distance data transfer processes:

• Call Center - Emergency Aid Center • Emergency Aid Center - PDA

• Call Center - Emergency Aid Data Watch

• PDA - Emergency Aid Center

• Emergency Aid Data Watch - Information Center

In all the data transfer processes, the encoding of the packages to be sent is performed by the Data Package Security Management System. This system utilizes an encoding technique, which is very difficult to decode, in order to prevent the 3. persons from decoding the information.

In order to perform the data transfer in the short distance data transfer processes, the data transfer button (2) on the watch is pressed, thereby performing such transfer processes. When this button is pressed, the person wishing to perform the transfer is asked to enter a password using the keys on the watch, in order to provide the security of the data transfer process. In case the entered password is verified, the data transfer process starts.

In case of emergency, the user' s password information is also sent to the ambulance PDAs to facilitate the receipt of the information required during the emergency intervention from the Emergency Aid Data Watch. This password is valid for one day, it is different than the user's own password and is automatically generated. The embedded software within the device is developed such that it may recognize this automatically generated password.

In both of the transfer systems, the data packages are sent by the Data Package Management System and once it is made sure that the package has reached the corresponding side, the other processes are performed. In this way, it is ensured that the data packages have been sent.

The Information Center is of great importance for the continuation of a successful operation of the device according to the invention. The Information Center manages the data watches, Call Center, Data Backup and Recovery Center and the Emergency Aid Center, and provides the communication between these. The Information Center is the most important component of the system. As soon as the device used by the patient assesses the measurement information of the patient and determines an emergency or at the moment the patient himself/herself presses the emergency aid button on the device, the serial number of the device being used by the person, the person's citizenship identification number, measurement values and the location information of the person are recorded in the database at the Information Center. The Information Center examines the six type of packages transmitted to itself; first of which being the routinely sent packages. The purpose of sending these packages is to keep the user periodically under control. These packages are sent at periods of one hour. The user's pulse, blood pressure, pulse intensity and rhythm information are continuously measured and sent to the Information Center so that the possibility of retrospective monitoring is provided about the health condition of the user. r L

The second data package type is the data package sent when an emergency arises. This package includes the information that will be of importance during the emergency, the device identification information, the user identification information and measurement information. This package is sent to the Emergency Aid Center. Emergency Aid Center provides information about the user' s condition to the ambulances located closest to the user and the medical institution selected by the ambulance. Thus, the medical units are allowed to take their precautions for the medical actions required to be taken.

The third data package type is the location packages. After the emergency signal has reached at the Information Center, the location of the user starts to be monitored. These packages are those arriving at the Information Center from the data watches in order to aid the medical units in accessing the location of the user. The location packages may also be used to find the missing persons. In order to locate the missing relatives, the users need to obtain the permission of the competent authorities. The Information Center starts to monitor said missing user and informs the location data of the missing user, to his/her relatives.

The fourth data package type is the data package type in which the results are sent to the Information Center after the routine examination procedures. Using the Health Insurance Number or the citizenship identification number available on the data watch they use, the users may be examined at the medical institutions without the need to use a sending order or prescription. Following the examination, the medicines to be prescribed for the user will be transmitted online both to the pharmacies and the Information Center, and the users will be able to obtain their medicines from the pharmacies. In case the user's doctor wishes, he/she may enter the user' s medicine usage information to the system. Once this information is entered to the system, the Information Center notifies the user' s watch about during which hours the user must take these medicines and the medicine dose to be taken, thereby enabling the user to take the medicine in a regular manner. The diagnosis, treatment and medical actions associated with the user are also entered to the system, thus completing the examination process.

The fifth data package type is the verification packages that are transmitted and received among the parties, during the' data transmissions.

The sixth data package is used to notify the Emergency Aid Center, during a mission, that the current mission has been cancelled .

The Emergency Aid Center in turn, transmits the information received from the Information Center, to the relevant units.

The device according to the invention, owing to the specially designed lock system (8) present thereon, has been contemplated to prevent the young users from forcing the watch away from their arms, and the mental patients and the persons with Alzheimer disease from loosing the watch. The lock operates in a both electromagnetic and electromechanical manner. The fitting of the watch on the arm is achieved through the placement of the lock into the slot, while the removal process is controlled by the embedded software. The embedded software asks the user the password and will open the lock in case the correct password is entered. The keys numbered 3, 4, 5 and 6 are to be used for entering the password and the unlocking will be provided by pressing the 5 and 6 keys together.

These keys are used for the following functions:

3 : move leftwards

4 : move rightwards

5: increase number

6: decrease number
