Mobile IP Infrastructure for Medical Data Transmission

Currently, EMS paramedics record patient information such as history, medical assessment, and treatments rendered onsite with pen and paper. They then convert this information to a paper-based call report and hand it over to the hospital along with the patient. This method is time-consuming and error prone. It causes delay for data analysis and lengthens paramedic turn-around time. This project will produce a data collection tool based on the mobile IP infrastructure which will reduce clerical errors, improve data analysis and medical care. The EMS Paramedic crew will use this tool for instant generation of electronic call reports onsite which will be passed on to the hospital.
