DICOEMS

The need for remote management of medical emergencies arises in a number of situations. DICOEMS focuses its efforts on accidents and natural disasters. Under such stressed and time critical conditions, the care provider (a medical doctor, nurse, paramedical personnel etc.) who is in charge of the patient needs a userfriendly utility to:

• acquire critical medical data (such as vital signs) to assess the medical condition
• offer appropriate first-aid
• communicate the findings and patient status to a network of health experts - no matter where they are physically locatedand closely cooperate under their guidance for the effective management of the emergency
• provide information about the geographic location of the emergency.
