Diseño e implementación de un prototipo multimodal en tiempo real para emergencias ambulatorias utilizando tarjetas de desarrollo.

Abstract

In the present titling work, a multimodal prototype was designed and implemented in real time for ambulatory emergencies using wireless sensor networks (WSN) and mobile technology of packet transmission via radio (GPRS). In the implementation of the prototype, a portable transmitter module was created which is responsible for taking human physiological measurements through the respective wireless sensors, which are connected to an E-Health Sensor Shield and on top of this an Arduino UNO that stores this information and communicates with an Arduino Nano which is responsible of displaying this data in the transmitter box as well as storing the patient's identity card to later send it using a SIM900 GSM / GPRS modem. We implemented a receiver module whereof location is fixed with a Raspberry Pi 3 that consists of an Arduino UNO and its modem SIM900 that communicate through the serial port of the Arduino to the USB of the Raspberry to receive the data from the transmitter module through the PYTHON programming language and then store them in the database made in the free office whereof name is "BASE". The graphical interface of the database allows to store the respiratory frequency, air flow, etc., of the patients. In this it could be found basic information about people. For the validation of the results obtained with the prototype, a comparison was made with equipment carried by the ambulance. It was concluded that outpatient emergencies can be handled in a better way since the health house would be prepared in advance knowing the state in which the patient is being transferred and so the appropriate professional can go to solve the emergency in an efficient manner. It is advisable to equip the ambulances with technology like this in order to save more lives.
