Rescue Information Collection Device for Pre-Emergency Data Capture
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current medical assistance devices cannot record or share initial rescue information, such as pre-emergency procedures and conditions, which are crucial for subsequent medical treatment, as they only capture data after emergency personnel arrive.
Innovation Solution
An initial rescue information collection device and system that includes a rescue request receiving unit, notification transmission unit, information receiving unit, and timeline generation unit to collect and organize initial rescue information in a time-series format before emergency personnel arrive, allowing sharing among healthcare workers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If medical assistance devices only record information after emergency personnel arrive, then the recording system is simple and manageable, but critical initial rescue information is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by notifying nearby users of an emergency situation before emergency personnel arrive, enabling them to collect and transmit initial rescue information (such as patient condition, procedures performed, and timeline of events) that would otherwise be lost. This preliminary information collection resolves the contradiction by capturing critical data in advance while maintaining system manageability through automated notifications and structured data collection.
2Loss of information
If initial rescue information is collected from multiple sources, then information completeness improves, but information organization and verification become more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies segmentation by dividing information collection into distinct modules: notification transmission to nearby users, information reception from multiple sources, timeline generation for chronological organization, and automatic transmission to emergency personnel. This modular segmentation handles multiple information sources systematically, improving completeness while managing complexity through structured processing steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary that receives information from multiple nearby users, organizes it chronologically into a timeline, and transmits it to emergency personnel. This intermediary role simplifies the system by centralizing information processing and organization, making it easier to handle multiple sources without increasing overall system complexity.
3Ease of operation
If timeline information is shared with all nearby users, then information accessibility improves, but privacy and security control become more challenging
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by providing information access with different permissions to different user groups: nearby users can view and contribute to the timeline during the emergency, while emergency personnel receive comprehensive information for decision-making. This differentiated access control maintains security while ensuring appropriate accessibility for each stakeholder group.

AI summary
An initial rescue information collection server includes a request receiving unit, a rescue request notification transmission unit, and a timeline processing unit. The request receiving unit receives a rescue request from a rescue requester who has sent the rescue request. The rescue request notification transmission unit selects users present in the vicinity of the rescue requester, and transmits a rescue request notification to the selected users. The request receiving unit receives initial rescue information from the selected users. The timeline processing unit generates a timeline in which the received initial rescue information is recorded in time series. Before emergency personnel arrive, the initial rescue information regarding the rescue requester is obtained by the rescuer. Therefore, it is easy to estimate the onset time or to check temporal changes in a condition.
