Medical Errors Are Third Leading Cause of Death in the U.S.
The right treatment can be promised only when the detection of the medical problem is accurate. More so when the time to detect and diagnose is less, i.e during an emergency. During any kind of emergency time is a major factor and thus, a technology that can help detect, and communicate emergency without human intervention would come as a boon. This may help save many lives in the ER.
During an emergency medical is available only after 911 is called or the medical aid is informed. In both cases the damage to the human body has to be diagnosed. This whole process takes a lot of time. My research tries to answer two major questions :
-
Which vital stats of the human can detect an emergency, and how?
-
How can an emergency be communicated without human intervention?
My whole research strategy is outlined here: Research Rationale
