Description

Technical Field

[0002] This invention relates to the fields of vehicle-mounted emergency medical equipment, AI-powered intelligent surgery, low-altitude cold chain logistics, and satellite communication emergency rescue technology. Specifically, it relates to an AI-powered autonomous minimally invasive emergency rescue system integrated into the original vehicle body, and a collaborative method for rapid cold chain replenishment of plasma adapted to remote mountainous areas, wilderness, and other scenarios without medical coverage. It belongs to the technical field of medical equipment and intelligent transportation. Background Technology

[0003] In emergency situations involving sudden and severe illness, traffic accidents, and rescue operations in remote mountainous or wilderness areas, the golden 4-8 minute emergency window is crucial in determining a patient's survival. However, the existing medical rescue system suffers from numerous insurmountable technical shortcomings: 1. Traditional fixed medical stations and township health centers are all located in fixed locations, leaving no coverage in remote mountainous areas, rural roads, and non-main roads. Patients need to actively seek medical treatment or wait for ambulance transfer. The average response time of ambulances in urban areas exceeds 10 minutes, while the response time in mountainous and rural areas can be as long as 1-3 hours, completely missing the golden time for critical care. 2. Existing private cars are only equipped with basic first aid kits and lack professional first aid, surgical and life support equipment. Faced with severe cases such as massive bleeding, organ damage, cardiac arrest and traumatic pneumothorax, they can only perform simple bandaging and cannot carry out effective treatment, resulting in extremely low patient survival rates. 3. Some vehicle-mounted medical devices only have basic monitoring functions and lack AI autonomous surgical capabilities. They require operation by professional medical personnel. In emergency situations where no professional personnel are present, the devices are completely ineffective. 4. Emergency blood products such as plasma and platelets require low-temperature and sterile storage and have a short shelf life. Long-term storage in vehicles can lead to problems such as temperature control failure, expiration and deterioration, and limited capacity. Insufficient blood supply during critical surgery can directly lead to treatment failure. 5. Current emergency blood supply relies on ground transportation, which is extremely inefficient due to factors such as rugged mountain roads, traffic congestion, and complex terrain. Furthermore, the lack of a supporting AI scheduling system makes it impossible to achieve real-time coordination between surgical needs and blood supply. 6. Currently, there is no integrated, factory-installed, or one-piece designed vehicle-mounted emergency surgery module. External devices damage the vehicle body structure, affect vehicle driving safety, and cannot achieve large-scale standard configuration.

[0004] In summary, existing technologies cannot solve the core technical problems of "delayed emergency care in remote scenarios, limited functionality of vehicle-mounted emergency equipment, difficulties in storing and transporting blood products, and lack of AI-powered autonomous treatment capabilities." There is an urgent need for an integrated emergency care system that can be equipped as a standard vehicle, operates autonomously with AI, and provides rapid plasma replenishment to fill the technological gap in on-site treatment of sudden critical illnesses. Summary of the Invention

[0005] I. Purpose of the Invention To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a vehicle-mounted integrated AI minimally invasive emergency rescue system and a method for emergency plasma resuscitation in mountainous areas, solving the following core technical problems: 1. Breaking through vehicle space limitations, the AI ​​minimally invasive emergency rescue module is pre-embedded in the original factory of motor vehicles without affecting vehicle driving safety and overall appearance, achieving large-scale standard configuration for private cars; 2. Relying on AI intelligent algorithms, it enables autonomous minimally invasive emergency care and surgical procedures when no professional medical personnel are present, dynamically adapting to treatment plans for different diseases and reducing the operational threshold; 3. Solve the problem of storing blood products on vehicles by using a low-altitude aircraft for rapid cold chain replenishment and a vehicle-mounted temporary docking blood storage module to achieve real-time replenishment of plasma and hemostatic consumables during surgery; 4. Construct a closed-loop emergency rescue system that integrates "on-site autonomous first aid - AI surgery - rapid blood replenishment - remote medical connection" to significantly improve the survival rate of critically ill patients in remote mountainous areas, wilderness, traffic accidents, and other scenarios. Technical solution

[0006] (I) Overall System Technical Solution A vehicle-mounted integrated AI minimally invasive emergency rescue system comprises five core modules: a vehicle factory-embedded medical module, an AI autonomous surgical unit, a satellite communication coordination unit, a plasma cold chain replenishment docking unit, and a life support unit. These modules achieve data interconnection and collaborative operation via a vehicle-mounted central control bus. The specific structure is as follows: 1. Original factory-installed medical module in motor vehicles Adopting an integrated pre-design during vehicle production, it is located in the vehicle's trunk or under the rear seats. It features a foldable, sealed cabin structure with dimensions of 60cm×40cm×30cm, which unfolds to form a sterile, minimally invasive operating space of 120cm×80cm×60cm. The cabin is made of medical-grade stainless steel and incorporates ultraviolet sterilization components and a micro negative pressure purification system to ensure that the operating environment meets medical Class II sterile standards. The module seamlessly integrates with the vehicle's body structure, without protruding from the body or affecting vehicle weight distribution, braking distance, or high-speed stability. The cabin is equipped with a one-button automatic unfold / fold switch, allowing ordinary people to start it with a single button.

[0007] 2. AI-powered autonomous surgical unit The core control module of the system includes an edge computing host, a cloud-based surgical model library, multimodal sensing sensors, a miniature and minimally invasive robotic arm, and a disease identification and matching module; - The edge computing host has a built-in high-performance AI chip and pre-caches 30 common critical surgery models such as trauma, cardiac arrest, and massive hemorrhage, supporting local offline operation; - The cloud-based surgical model library stores minimally invasive treatment algorithms for all diseases, and enables real-time downloading, verification, and updating via satellite communication, automatically matching corresponding surgical plans for different patients' conditions; - Multimodal sensing sensors include heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen, and wound site imaging sensors, which collect patients' vital signs and trauma data in real time and transmit them to the edge computing host for disease diagnosis; - The miniature minimally invasive robotic arm features a lightweight three-joint design, a load capacity of 5kg, and an accuracy of 0.1mm. It is equipped with minimally invasive procedures such as hemostasis, suturing, puncture, and closed thoracic drainage. It is autonomously controlled by AI algorithms and requires no human intervention. - The disease identification and matching module can automatically diagnose disease types based on data collected by sensors, retrieve local or cloud-based surgical models, and generate surgical execution paths.

[0008] 3. Satellite Communication Coordination Unit It integrates a BeiDou-3 positioning module, a satellite internet communication module, and an autonomous redundancy module for network outages, achieving global signal coverage without dead zones. Under normal network conditions, it transmits patient vital data and surgical progress to remote emergency centers in real time, and simultaneously sends plasma replenishment requests to the dispatch platform. In network outage scenarios, it switches to local offline mode, completes basic emergency operations based on a pre-cached model, and automatically uploads data and resends replenishment requests after reconnecting to the network. It also has automatic vehicle accident detection and one-click alarm functions. After an accident occurs, it automatically triggers the emergency system to start and simultaneously pushes location information to the emergency center and traffic police platform.

[0009] 4. Plasma cold chain supply docking unit It includes a vehicle-mounted temporary blood storage chamber, an aircraft docking port, and a temperature control monitoring module. The vehicle-mounted temporary blood storage chamber uses micro-phase change material cold chain technology to achieve temporary storage of red blood cells at 2-6℃ and plasma at -18℃, and can maintain stable temperature control for 4 hours without power. The aircraft docking port is located at the rear of the vehicle and is a fully automatic opening and closing structure, which is compatible with the precise airdrop docking of drones and eVTOL electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, enabling contactless and rapid replenishment of blood products and emergency supplies. The temperature control monitoring module monitors the temperature of the blood storage chamber in real time, and automatically alarms and synchronizes with the dispatch platform when abnormalities occur.

[0010] 5. Life Support Unit Built-in portable ventilator, automated external defibrillator (AED), hemostatic powder, tourniquet, wound dressing, crystalloid plasma substitute and other basic emergency equipment, and linked with AI autonomous surgical unit, basic life support is performed before surgery to stabilize the patient's vital signs and buy time for minimally invasive surgery and plasma supply; at the same time, it is equipped with electrocardiogram monitor to display the patient's vital signs data in real time, which can be viewed by remote experts.

[0011] (II) Emergency Coordinated Plasma Replenishment Methods in Mountainous Areas Based on the aforementioned vehicle-mounted emergency medical system, this invention discloses a method for coordinated emergency plasma replenishment in mountainous areas, the specific steps of which are as follows: 1. Triggering emergency command: When a vehicle accident occurs or a passenger is found to have a sudden serious illness, the satellite communication coordination unit automatically triggers the emergency system, or the system can be activated by a person in the vehicle with one click. The AI ​​autonomous surgery unit collects patient data through multimodal sensors, completes the diagnosis of the disease, and determines the surgical plan and the demand for plasma and consumables. 2. Sending a supply request: The satellite communication coordination unit uploads data such as patient location, disease type, plasma type, required quantity, and surgical progress to the mountain front-end blood bank dispatch platform in real time. The dispatch platform then locates the nearest front-end cryogenic blood bank node. 3. Rapid delivery by aircraft: The dispatch platform automatically dispatches cold chain drones or eVTOL aircraft from the forward blood bank, loaded with the corresponding plasma and consumables, and plans the optimal flight path through Beidou positioning to avoid mountains and obstacles, and fly directly to the location of the emergency vehicle. The entire flight is under cold chain temperature control and the location and temperature data are transmitted in real time. 4. Vehicle-mounted automatic docking: After the aircraft arrives above the emergency vehicle, it precisely docks with the port of the vehicle-mounted plasma cold chain replenishment docking unit, automatically dispensing blood products and consumables. The vehicle-mounted temporary blood storage compartment automatically stores and maintains temperature control, and simultaneously sends a replenishment completion signal to the AI ​​autonomous surgical unit. 5. Collaborative Surgical Treatment: The AI-powered autonomous surgical unit activates the minimally invasive robotic arm to perform surgery based on the availability of supplies. The life support unit simultaneously maintains the patient's vital signs, and experts from the remote emergency center monitor the surgical process in real time, allowing for remote intervention in case of abnormalities. 6. Postoperative Transfer: After the surgery, the system automatically assesses the patient's vital signs. Once the patient's condition stabilizes, the system contacts the nearest hospital via satellite communication, pushes the patient's treatment data, and dispatches an ambulance or the patient can drive to the hospital for subsequent rehabilitation treatment. At the same time, the system automatically folds and resets, restoring the vehicle to normal use.

[0012] III. Beneficial Effects Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages: 1. Original factory integrated design, extremely practical: Adopting pre-embedded modules during vehicle production, the integrated folding structure does not occupy extra space, does not affect vehicle driving safety and appearance, and can achieve large-scale standard configuration for private cars, commercial vehicles and official vehicles, with a coverage density far exceeding that of traditional ambulances and fixed medical stations. 2. AI autonomous operation, zero-threshold use: No professional medical staff are required to be present. Ordinary people can start it with one click, and AI will automatically complete the entire process of diagnosis, surgery and life support, completely solving the problem of no professional medical staff to treat patients in emergency situations. 3. Rapid response, seizing the golden time for emergency treatment: The vehicle is equipped with an emergency medical system, enabling on-site treatment at zero distance. Combined with drone / eVTOL rapid plasma replenishment, the response time in remote mountainous areas is shortened from hours to 15-30 minutes, significantly improving the survival rate of critically ill patients. 4. Solve the pain points of plasma storage and transportation: Eliminate the need for long-term on-vehicle storage of plasma. Delivery is achieved through a forward-positioned blood bank and low-altitude cold chain aircraft, avoiding issues such as expired blood products and temperature control failure, and enabling real-time blood replenishment during surgery. 5. Full-scenario coverage and extremely high social value: Applicable to scenarios without medical coverage such as traffic accidents, mountainous areas, and natural disasters, it builds a mobile, intelligent, and fully covered emergency rescue network to fill the gaps in the existing medical rescue system; 6. Mature technology with strong feasibility: Based on existing AI algorithms, satellite communication, micro robotic arms, and cold chain logistics technologies, no disruptive technology development is required; only integration and optimization are needed to quickly achieve mass production and widespread adoption.

[0015] Emergency plasma co-supply methods and steps in mountainous areas: 1. A private car was involved in a collision on a mountain road, and the driver suffered traumatic hemorrhage. The satellite communication coordination unit 3 automatically detected the accident and triggered the emergency rescue system. The AI ​​autonomous surgery unit 2 collected patient data through sensors and diagnosed the patient as having severe lower limb hemorrhage, requiring 200ml of type A plasma. 2. Satellite communication coordination unit 3 sends the location and plasma demand to the mountain front-end blood bank dispatch platform 6, and the dispatch platform locates the front-end blood bank 15km away; 3. The dispatch platform dispatches 7 cold chain drones, loaded with type A blood plasma and hemostatic supplies, with temperature control at 2-6℃ throughout the process, and they arrive at the accident vehicle location in 12 minutes; 4. The drone precisely docks with the vehicle-mounted interface to deliver blood plasma, which is then automatically stored in the temporary blood storage container. 5. The AI ​​autonomous surgical unit 2 activates the minimally invasive robotic arm to perform hemostasis and suturing surgery, while the life support unit 5 simultaneously maintains the patient's blood pressure and heart rate; 6. After the surgery, the patient's vital signs stabilized. The system contacted the nearest township hospital, and the patient drove there for further treatment. The module then automatically folded and reset.

[0016] In this embodiment, only 15 minutes elapsed from the occurrence of the accident to the arrival of plasma, completely seizing the golden emergency time and successfully saving the patient's life, thus verifying the practicality and effectiveness of the present invention.
